David continues to be the irrigation detective, coming across mysterious joins and underground
pipes and draws together the overall likely picture. We tried prompting Paul W's memory (he set up the initial system), however so much has happened in the ensuring years, what made sense then, isnt making so much sense right now. Each repair David makes, the pressure increases, so much so we had a 6 metre spurt from one of the breaks in the grove. We are now envisioning water features. This weekend, we drew draft pics of the proposed bathroom and kitchen for the shearers quarters, I DASed the weeds in the pathways, David had chopped the grass around the water tank and new hedges, we looked at all the drippers in the vineyard, adjusting the blocked ones and learning how to take them apart and put them together, we measure the water flow from a dripper (2L per hour as indicated) and I made a fresh brew of pear conserve with pears from Lorraine's orchard in Kibblewhite Drive.
The recipe is being refined. As we began looking at weekend properties, I kept having visions of sparkling pear conserve on the shelves and growing things in the garden. Dreams do come true. Will you look at this! Great on toast for breakie or with blue cheese and a glass of wine. Raspberries, lettuces, and green beans all from the garden, we are creating quite a domestic scene where we are. Can't wait for the pantry to go in now so we have shelves for these gorgeous preserves. Gerry says the shelves will be ready this weekend!
