Of course we all want paradise but we want someone else to create it for us and we want it now.

At last the outside is coming into shape with the building rubble gone.

The house with most of the rubble gone. We are planning to put a variety of trees and shrubs here.	Flowers waiting to be planted.
Our traditional style calcada made by one of the young men from the village. Aaron and Phil built the walls and steps that enclose the outdoor room. This space allows us to exit through the new french doors that lead out of the dinning room.	The beautiful view from the upstairs hall window.
The calcada from the fig tree (right) showing the old wall. Soon there will be a lovely gate and ivy.	Emma and Ortillia walking down the lane with the sheep and goats.
Looking out over the olive grove today, now that Ortillia brings the sheep and goats to pasture here.	The front garden regrows after the abuse of scaffolding, concrete and sand. Another miracle!
A peaceful scene in the village, just a few minutes walk from our house	Flourishing flowers in the new planter.
An old open cisterna, full of fish, just down the lane from the house	One of our nocturnal friends
