We made a few changes to the fireplace. Have you noticed them?

There’s something special about getting your hands in the soil and creating something beautiful from the ground up 🌱🌸 Doing what you love doesn’t always look glamorous — sometimes it’s digging, sweating, and getting a little dirty… but watching it bloom makes it all worth it.

What’s your our fave thing to do when it’s rainy outside? Do you fancy some comfort food, some tea and wine next to a cracking fire? Do you like falling asleep to the sound of raindrop? What you could have all the above at the touch of a button? http://airbnb.com/h/whistlingthornsolpejeta

🚧 We fixed our own road. Here’s why.
For years, heavy rains turned our road into a nightmare. Farmers couldn’t deliver milk. The sick had to be carried on people’s backs just to reach a usable road.
We asked for help. Nothing came.
So we did it ourselves. 💪
A few neighbours, pooled funds, and a whole lot of determination later — we finally have a road we can actually use when it rains.
Is it perfect? No.
Does it change everything? Absolutely.

We are not sure about this one but both Merlin bird and ChatGPT have identified it as an Abyssinian Scimitarbill. This all-black bird has a curved orange bill and a fairly long tail. Northern birds have white bars across the wings, which are conspicuous in flight, while southern birds have entirely black wings. Found in dry savanna and thornscrub. They usually feed on insects by probing into bark and cracks with that curved bill. They’re related to woodhoopoes and are common around conservancies and ranchlands in the Laikipia ecosystem.

Waking up here is just something else…a feeling I can’t explain.
