Work

The following posts show some of the fun things that we have been up to this holiday. We have also had lots of jobs to do so the boys have been lending a hand. One big job was cutting the firewood into stove sized lengths. We used a circular saw to do this with appropraite safety gear. Some of the fish was filleted and smoked in our homemade smoker. We salt it first and then coat in a brown sugar glaze. Smoking is done with ti tree wood from the firewood. It takes about 4 hours but the result is delicious. We have also been planting trees in the fields. Boys have been digging holes and then I pop a tree in. So far we have planted 6 olives, 2 cherimoyas, 2 karos, a persimmon and 2 cranberries. There are plenty more trees that need planting and so we still need plenty more holes.
