A few photos

OK. So here are a few photos from the past week or so...

We are still living without hot water, and certainly without an Internet connection, so it is taking a bit of time to get things together...

Ours is the white house in the centre. Behind, you may just be able to make out a little snow on the mountains. That is Portugal?Ls only ski slope!

Our first crop -- a bowl of oranges! The three orange trees must have a ton of fruit on them. Unfortunately it is going to waste -- much ruined already by frost. (Marmalade, anyone?)

Our second day here; one of the local shepherds brought her sheep to a neighbouring garden. We are planning a lawn, and sheep may be cheaper than a lawnmower...

This is the ski slope in close-up. With a Sunday afternoon free, we went for a look. The snow is artificial (no precipitation here for the past four months!) We guess that in a normal year there is more snow and back-country skiing should be possible...
