We arrived to six foot of snow piled around our house, no power, no gas and a dwindling wood supply, our new cat Stevens mewling bleakly as he viewed his new home - a radical shift from the beach huts of Gokarna.

Undaunted, we set to work swabbing the decks and prepping the house for our first guests and WWOOFers who arrived a day late but jolly in spirit. The difference they make is phenomenal - three new beds built, the mulch harvested, and even a new drainage system that we are terrified is going to flood the neighbour's orchard! Watch this space to see what happens there ...

The gas arrived on day three, carried up the hill on the head of some Nepali auntie who must be as strong as a mule to heft that much weight up a mountain side. And today, there is even word of the replacement power cable - meaning actual electricity to greet our future guests. How civilized!

In all, has been great to see the house and garden being worked upon, and the first WWOOFers have set a high standard for others to follow ... hopefully pictures to come soon ....
