The adventure began in July 2008.
We were captivated by the magic of the place, wild and
wonderful.
Nature, space, silence, fruit trees... everything is
there.
The village is a bit further away, but not too far, and
we received such a warm welcome there!
With the help of some friends, the bare necessities of
life were put into place in the months that followed: the
installation of a greenhouse, which will serve as a
workshop / storage space; the setting up of a yurt and
various other facilities and the organization of the
space.
We acquired a small house in Maella in September. After
some work , the library and office were operational in
October.
The most important work of this winter on the land has
been the planting and sowing of about 400 trees, both
fruit and forestry, and mulching.
There was also the removing of the dead wood from the
trees, and an early vegetable garden. And then lots of
small jobs ...
May 2009: A
second yurt, 2 compost toilets, and a shower are
installed... The living space is organized.
Fall 2009: The garden has grown, other trees are planted
and the first basin is completed. Birds and dragonflies
will greatly appreciate this ... and so will we. 4 solar
panels feed electricity into the yurt. Luxury awaits us.
And then there was the roof renovation of the old house
in Maella: 30m2 roof completely renovated and insulated
earth and straw. It was fun.
I sometimes say
"I" and sometimes "we".
"I" because I am for the moment the only
permanent person here, and the only one to manage
the development of the project.
"We" because this project is essentially
collective, even if the collective is still in formation.
And you're part of this "we."
