Treats

[topum]

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.

Wow. Everything looks beautiful! That's so generous of them! Do you give them something too?

We bring small presents when we go away and come back. They grow all this in their gardens and share some of it with us. We are working on garbage disposal and recycling system for the village, clearing illegal rubbish dumps, building a community centre for the village and are working on a reforestation project at the edge of the village.

Ah! Are you living in Moldova at the moment? I'm confused by your travelling pictures! Hehe.

We are doing a project here and are based here now. We travel around a lot though and going back back to London every two weeks or so.
