Olives and figs This years crop of figs and olives look good! #garden #produce #olives #figs #Hōkio #Horowhenua #Aotearoa
The grandkids brought their chickens with them on holiday. We even set them up with their own ‘batch’ under the olive trees for shade. They enjoy their supervised outings around the garden as well! 📷 🐓🪴 #garden #chickens #holiday #batch #Hōkio #HōkioBeach
Have just finished my first virtual meditative “retreat” with the [Waking Up](https://www.wakingup.com) app & program. 6 hours of guided silent meditation; including (thankfully!) segments of walking meditation. I will be interested to see how this echos in days to come.
