This morning the kids got their own breakfast and then worked quietly on a few craft projects while we slept in; perfect start to the day.
When Oma got up she helped Owen tie off his braclet and Kate got ready to make a second craft card out of buttons and stickers.
Yesterday they helped me make fire-starters using old egg cartons and wood shavings. They packed the cartons and I poured the wax over the shavings to hold everything in place. They do make starting the morning fire so much easier.
We've had a great week together, doing lots of fun things even though we are in a restrictive movement time with new guidlines concerning the Coronavirus-19.
Hope everyone stays healthy and your are helping your neighbours get through these challenging days.
Stay safe and well whereever you are.

Hi Jason;
DeleteThanks for the kind words and glad you enjoyed the video. It is possible to buy marginal land cheaply and live comfortably without hooking into the electrical grid system. After 8 years we still love this life. Stay safe and well.
