Spring ... you miss out on it in tropical climates, but those of us from he lands of wheat and hops remember it fondly and it is indeed returning ... Before we left we planted thirty odd early-blooming plants like daffodils and irises and we are but a few weeks for seeing if they made it through the winter!
G is also chomping at the bit to see what condition the lasagne sheet beds are in (blown away? dug up by dogs? perfect rich black soil? Watch this space!)
Such has been the enthusiastic response to our WWOOFing call out that we are doing some head scratching over the best way to proceed. Although happy to have people interested, we have already experienced a typical mix of empty requests and genuine interest, but it's particularly difficult to guestimate people through the interweb. Also, we are having to get a lot more organised in planning ahead so we aren't overwhelmed by them! Like the Ark, it's two by two ... only two WWOOFers at one time, the rest have to chip in for their food and board, but aren't required to work if they don't want (they are very welcome of course :-))
I have reread the WWOOFing write-up several times, and it still seems accurate to me, but I hope people aren't envisaging something like Auroville ... at least not this year. In the future we may have a golden egg of our own to worship ... but until then we'll just have to see what people's reaction is to the idea ...
Hopefully back home in less than two weeks ... check back then!
