Things are heating up!

Helen: The girl’s first task today was to fence the vegetable garden to stop the cattle from walking all over the newly planted vegetables. One of the local lady’s had already planted cabbage, spinach, tomatoes and onions and they were thriving and looking healthy. Three strands of single wire fastened round existing fixed posts and then the mesh wire attached to the single strands, a few extra posts were required just to give extra strength. A job well done as some hours later a her d of cows came running down the hill.
Later in the day the girls were part of the chain gang helping to complete the second half of the roof batons and moving roof tiles.

Mark: The boys began the day shifting more blocks for the local builders to finish the internal walls.  Access to the other side of the roof proved more challenging than anything Anneka could conjure up!  Once the scaffolding was in place the batons and felt were nailed on ready to tile the roof tomorrow.

Starting to render. One wall is already finished.
Precarious scaffolding ready to finish tiling!
