Days of May at Free and Real

Kategori: Community, Construction, Greece, Sustainability, Travel

 
A slow spring has finally culminated in a splendidly beautiful Greek pre summer on Evia. At Free and Real we have been a strong and consistent crew working, living and dreaming away.
 
 
The base for the next grand construction has been erected. And its exact destiny is still cloaked in the dull office suit fabric of obscurity (it's going to be an office, a plain, boring, four stories, self-made, white collar, stiff and rigid office. With a water slide going down from the roof.).
 
 
Cob has been contemplated, created and celebrated! This batch was among one of the finest ever made! The cobsistency made Anastasia cry with joy!
 
 
My first window cobing! These frames were to be covered for another wall section to be finished at the mega yurt's ground level.
 
And we cobed the day away!
 
 
And wooden frames became cob windows.
 
 
Herbs collected and hung for drying.
 
 
A new well was to be drilled in an overgrown corner at the Test Site. While clearing the area an old gate was laid bare from beneath the bramble. I got missioned to upgrade it, so that it would be worthy a potential zombie apocalypse.
 
 
 
And keep tyrants away...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We also visited the cellar.
 
 
And cakes! I don't know how many cakes have been caked, and subsequently caked down these past weeks! Sweetness everywhere!
 
 
And speaking about food, we had vegan τυρόπιτα the other day, with two different vegan cheeses! It was heaven! And for desert - banana chocolate cake! If anyone ever doubts the deliciousness of vegan food, they should come and stay here for a week!
