railings (and other stuff!)

We've finished the railings on the veranda- still have to finish the top level and the stairs (the posts need a few alterations).



























So in the meantime we've done some bits in the kitchen- putting up some gorgeous new blue tiles.




The quinta is springing into life again- thank goodness for the environmentally friendly lawnmowers (the geese!) who are doing a great job!
We said goodbye to the 4 young male rabbits- one went into a delicious rabbit and venison pie, and the others into the freezer for future velagota meals- what a great and easy (and tasty) animal for the smallholder.

(after to follow!)

We took off the old scaffolding from the verandas yesterday and put up new posts. Just waiting for the steel cable now so we can finish the job. Quite a hairy procedure especially after we'd had lunch with Tose+Gloria!
