Imagine...

In 1755, Lisbon suffered one of the deadliest earthquakes in history - what I didn't know was how much destruction there was elsewhere. Here on the land of the folk we're with at the moment, this bridge fell - it's an eerie place when you think what it must have been like that day... though imagine having a ruin like that on your land... 

Today, we've watched them making their Gouda cheese, M has been mucking out the calf yard, and we've been on a walk round the land - stunning, especially as the sun was setting over their lake - imagine having a lake (two, actually) on your land...

Lots of talking - my head feels too full of information/opinions/ideas... how to sort it all? 

(Not to mention the rumours over blip - nothing I can do about my journal at the moment, anyway.But, DO follow this blipper's lead: https://www.blipfoto.com/entry/2024218726760450517)

Tried over and over lastnight to blip, but it just wouldn't publish - will keep trying. PS. Just realised why - yesterday's photo was taken after midnight - will have to publish for the day before that...in case you're interested.
