Garden Facelife

It's been a quiet couple of months for us thus the lack of updates and photos. We do though have these pictures to share. The digger came in at the end of October and we had our first swim today. The excitement on the kids faces say it all! It's going to be a true Christmas in the tropics for us this year!


The arrival of the digger did result in some complaints from our Timorese gardener as it tore up the path at the side of the house. He wasn't impressed.


December is not the best month to be trying to get a pool finished given that we get more rain at this time of the year. We also had to wait for a new type of liner to arrive which delayed the process slightly.

But all that is now forgotten, everything is more or less installed and the green light for the first dip was given earlier today. It was a lovely first dip with the kids impressed that they had plenty of space in the water.



Next challenge will be to sort out the garden but that's something we have a plan for and need to set that in motion after Chinese New Year. Thank's to our friendly neighbors for their patience with the ongoing work and we promise it will finish some time next year !
