The outside kitchen and other projects

Finally the work on the grounds, which are attaching to the garden, went on.
​I cleared a lot of the logs away, which were buried there and stored the ones, which can be still used as firewood, in the newly built wood shed.

There is plenty of wood rotting in the earth, unfortunately all of it was somehow wrapped in a big plastic sheet, which is now after years falling apart and sticking in bits and pieces everywhere in the ground. Just completely  horrible.

John made a bonfire and finally burned all the garden stuff I had piled up in the last 3 months cleaning up the property.
We were very aware of the possibility of the fire creeping into the dry grass and scrubs and had buckets of water and a batter ready.
I also had cut the grass very short in a circle around the fireplace

And finally:!
After being requested often, Quintinha Mojud is now getting a small outside kitchen, which will give all my guests the possibility of using a fridge and a small gas burner on the covered terrace and cook their own meals and store their food.
