With the first Volunteer’s Day fast approaching and the weather beginning to recover from its unseasonal snows of last week, it is perhaps just as well that I have already got my fridge ready in which to store milk for all the cups of tea and coffee that hot thirsty workers are soon going to require! But please do remember that this is Cae Non we are talking about… my fridge is not quite so near or convenient as the usual kitchen appliance. This “fridge” entails a quick walk to the stream where I have dug out a portion of shady stream-bed and surrounded the hole with larger rocks. Here is the perfect place to store cans of milk, plunged into the cool fast-flowing waters of the stream, the stones preventing the current of the water from dislodging the containers. During the hot sunny days of March (that sounds rather incongruous!!!) I also filled tall-sided plastic boxes with goodies for our barbecue, etc.. It works really well…. as does hanging a basket of clothes under a waterfall to wash them… only I haven’t got a waterfall (yet) so I will have to be content with a fridge and wait a bit longer for a washing machine…. at least my “kitchen” has running water… but I won’t go into where it is running from or to….!
