We have arrived on holiday and we are not quite sure what we are most excited about. New chickens to befriend, staying in Miss Marples actual real life village (it's true I promise) or the abundance of kygumbous (E's phrase) trees. They have so many trees down here they not only build houses from them but chop 'em up and burn 'em. They grow so high I wonder the pigeons don't get vertigo...

I think our home is going to be a bit of a shock for our intrepid house swappers. Stumpy little trees if at all and wide open spaces.
