Quinta Alvorada do Ouro

A quiet day in Tavira yesterday, lunch with Franck, a walk to Santa Luzia, a chat with Rene about her travel plans, which include Myanmar and China as well as calling in on family and friends in France occasionally . . . another talk with Paul, a psychotherapist from London, doing up the house he has bought in Tavira . . . then a lift from Victoria to the Quinta in the hills, with fellow Helpxers, Sebastian, Jenni and Bruno . . .

As a child, in Brussels, Victoria dreamed of being a farmer, then life intervened and five children, singing, midwifery, sacral-cranial therapy . . . then a mystery illness, told by doctors to expect a life in a wheelchair, took off for an Ayervedic approach in India, mostly cured and decided to take the opportunity to be the farmer she always felt she was . . . and moved here five years ago. . . without the wheelchair . . . translates from English to Dutch . . . the current job is "Consciousness is All", by Peter Francis Dziuban . . .

Helpxers and Wwoofers have come and gone . . . Sebastian left today, Jenni from Germany and Bruno from Belgium are here for another two weeks . . . work schedule very relaxed and open for new ideas . . . tomorrow - a pallet potato planter . . .

Permaculture, philosophy . . . and cats . . .
