Realizing how lucky I am actually am.
I am not really sure just how much I have told you all about where I live.
So here goes.
My house is pretty big by modern standards.
5 Bed and baths.
A large country kitchen and a huge sitting room.
Remember it was built with the intentions of 3 children who were supposed to be living with us.
Well these days it is only myself and himself rambling about in it.
It is run completely on solar.( Except in Winter or bad days when it needs to be topped up by a generator)
Folks assume when you live in a solar run house that you do not have the normal things that other take for granted.
Well you could not be more wrong.
I have a washing machine,dishwasher,hoover, hairdryer,straightener, in fact anything you guys have so do I.
We have a state of the ark septic tanks, a well that supplies water to a holding tank.
We have internet 99% per cent of the time and a landline phone.
We have a large veg garden and I am very proud to say our whole package of 30 acres is totally organic.
We have not used any kind of pesticide in the 10 years since we moved in.
And before that it was unused for around 15 years.
We have an old antique oven that my hubby took apart and put back exactly as it was but better.
We eat a huge amount from our veg garden and fruit trees.
Fruit trees we have
oranges about 10 different varieties,limes,lemons,apples,pears,peaches,pomegranates, plums,quince and that is only what I can think about at the moment.
On the land you can pick wild garlic,onions,mint,myrtle, asparagus to name a few.
On the privacy aspect of my house in the house and surroundings it is 100% private.
It can not be seen from anywhere, so if anyone decided to go with nature and disrobe no one would ever know.
The wild life is truly incredible.
In particular the birds.
We have 2 nesting pairs of buzzards that are here year after year.
We have the blue thrush( I think it is called)
Someone really needs to come and catalogue all of them there are sooo many.
Tortoises that are so numerous in numbers that they are almost like a plague
Incredible owls small scopps, to huge barn owls.
Pine martins that come to steal the figs from our trees.
Hedgehogs that vary hugely to the Uk ones (there legs are much longer)
But most of all are the evenings.
Where our house is positioned it has NO!!!!! light pollution.
Which means the STARS OH!!! THE STARS are just incredible.
From shooting stars to meteors I have seen them all.
When we get a thunder storm I can honestly say it would knock your soxs off as it lights up the sky.
On the top of the mountain in front every evening we have a visit from the wild goats just as the sun goes down.
Blimey I have just realised how much I am waffling on today.
I think it must be because I have had a moment of clarity and see just how lucky we REALLY are.
This is "MY MENORCA"
