It’s been a quiet week for working to recovery, which has meant that Ron has had a whole week on the island, and I visited Fife for 24 hours.

The architect came Monday so we shaped up the plans for our bunk house/training venue. It will have 20 beds, a large training /dining area, kitchen, an office ad editing suite, treatment room for visiting therapists, drying room for wet gear and wetsuits and possibly a sauna. We have missed the next planning meeting so September will be D Day.

The weather has continued to be glorious up here, with no rain, blue sky’s but coldish winds.
Ron has been out in the poly tunnel and we have 20 vigorous tomato plants and the strawberries are fruiting.

He has also built a piglet pen for our new Tamworth female piglet that arrived Friday. Francesca has called her Charlotte so I guess she won’t be going in the freezer.

It is truly wonderful watching the whole family relax up here in our new lifestyle. Frankie wandering around bare foot and care free. Rory cycling to school every day and now managing the hills, Ron proud of a day’s hard labour, and myself watching the croft take shape and our ideas progress.

Ron is of to Angus this afternoon to work with 20 peer worker recruits for a week. Again watching them grow and develop during the week and over the next few months is what keeps us doing this work.
