Treats

We keep the window open in the old house where we work when not in the woods (our "office") whether we are in or away. All day long the locals send their kids to leave treats for us, which they leave on the windowsill. This is what we usually see whenever we come back to the "office".



We get a lot of fruit and vegetables, walnuts, goose eggs, home-made yogurt, butter, sour cream, jams, freshly baked bread and, the best of all, freshly baked local pastries just out of the oven. Those are so good. They have all kinds, both sweet and savoury, cottage cheese and herbs, sheep's cheese, goat cheese, pumpkin, apple, walnuts, plums, sour cherries, cabbage, potatoes. I can easily have ten of them in one go.
