White Rock Sunset

White Rock Marathon

Start of a twelve mile walk in White Rock last week. I had all my hair chopped off for the occasion.

Five hours later...

Still smiling, probably the beer kicking in...

Hop Harvesting

We spent the entire day, almost, hop harvesting up at the brew farm. It was a volunteer effort but they rewarded the brave with unlimited beer and pizza, so it would have been foolish to not offer our services.

It really was an amazing, social day, lots of discussion and laughter, a fair bit of beer and food. We're looking forward to the hoppy creations starting off with the Centennial Hops that we picked today.

More of the same, looking down the hill.

Weed Trees

Everything is growing and we have been up on our land in the last few weeks clearing some weed trees, some of which are healthy four inch diameter monsters now. It keeps us occupied and is surprisingly rather rewarding. I know, I know, we've gone daft, liking manual labour...
