Today Pete’s energies were focused on building the compost loo with Rob, Jaro, Yanze and Kevin. I cleaned the toilets with Maria, a short term volunteer from Spain, so had the chance to practice lots of Spanish – I was surprised how much was coming back to me – this place feels more and more like Alma every day! I then help to prepare a lunch of lentils and fresh leaf salads from the incredible polytunnel.

In the afternoon, I have an opportunity to offer-forth my gifts, and give massages for all the volunteers – after a winter here at Embercombe, they need it! Lots of sore backs and tired bodies.
