Sunset towards Formentera

Well the new chicken house is half built but the main house looks really cosy. A friend came round to help with the garden so the terraces are now all planted with lavender and orange. The trees have been trimmed and the wood cut for next years fires.
Had lots of enquiries so I guess that people need a holiday even more in these current times, good idea, its cheaper than a holiday in the UK with Ryanair charging 0euros plus taxes and our local restaurant offering a 3 course menu del dia with wine for 12euros- Bed and Breakfst here and you can afford a hire car too!
Some more photos coming soon, had camera troubles but you can see some shots of the rooms and surrounding area on the front page.
Looking forward to seeing you soon. Laura x

January

foster dogs

We had a lovely Christmas, we fostered a dog - an Ibicenco Podenco and her puppy. The cat got the most entertainment out of it spending all the time fighting with the puppy.  They were both half-starved when they arrived but are looking for new homes now that they are healthy.  New Year will be all about apple bobbing and kids games and we hope that you all have a very happy time of it too!  See you in the new year x

One month in and I still hit my head on the low lintel to the back terrace, really will be punch drunk if this carries on. Last weekend saw the Festes dels Bestias in Can Caus. This is a farm with goats, sheep, chickens etc. and they laid on a traditional celebration with stalls of food and shows of Eivissenco dancing - lots of leaping and drums. Next weekend is of course Hallow’een. We’re not able to go trick or treating here as our nearest neighbours are a good 20 minute walk away so, its off to Santa Gertrudis where the lovely residential houses crowd round the elegant square. Everyone will be dressed to thrill and meeting at the bars and restaurants that face the church. Once we’ve scared off all the evil spirits for another year, the only thing going bump in the night will probably still be my head!

Hope your October is fun, see you soon x L&A
