I've always been slow to publish on the blog, but this time there is an excuse: last year we moved to our new house, out of town. Only now we have managed to more or less finish the downstairs. The garden is huge and empty for now (read that as "full of weeds").
There was no water, so we had to get a company drill and make a well; which took long (including the whole time around our wedding...with guests visiting..), but the water is now in the house and very clean and we never have to pay a water bill again! The upstairs is used for storing stuff for now, mostly gardening tools and other things which normally do not belong inside a house.
But it is a happy time and Christmas was warm and calming. And finally with a real tree!
