Few pictures to end the October month

We are posting a series of pictures with a little note attached . Time is flying fast and it is only 23 days before we return to Scotland.

Enjoy

Lots of veg still growing but the beans have now finish

We are still planting lettuce, cabbage, fennel and for the first time lentils.

The goji berry plant  is now in full production

The two main vineyards in Locoe land and Dule land are going to be replaced with ( hopefully) new ones next year.

pomegranate are also very abundant this year . here is the flower of the plant.

Courgettes still producing flowers....and fruit

Aubergines still growing well. We will probably have some till the end of November.

Also the Fichi D'india better known in UK as prickly pears are still in production. My experimental wine will be a test in March to see if it was successful or a failure. The wild fruit is so abundant that we need to think how to use it as  most of it is left to rotten.

Our gold fish in the water pool. They keep water free from algae and fertilise the garden....

Same pool....frogs playing with the fish?

Praying  mantis. Very common here and of different colours. Depends on the way the want to camouflage themselves in the environment.

outside our house spiders are probably the most friendly creatures. They are everywhere and the variety is incredible. I lost counting the types. I know not everyone likes them, but in the country side here is an indication of an healthy environment. So we are happy to have them around.

Our visit to Esporlatu and the farm with many different chickens and not only...all with their little  (and  different) home.

This is for Uni. Polish chickens? They keep something like 7 different colour ones.

A seagull trying to be friendly with us when on the beach  on our visit to Marazzino. Asking for food and feeling lonely as the tourist are now away.

New job....or...more tiling in the house in Marazzino

Later on...some tiling done. We will be back there this week end as lesley is back from Scotland on the 3d of November.

Between tiling we did some walks ( not many). Decent weather in a season where all the best weather forecast expert are scratching their heads for what is going on  in the Med. They are now talking of a tropical Mediterranean era....

Our late project. A wood store area which was crying to be build for long time. Job done now.it
