The big trees are all in the graveyard, naturally its first come first serve, we found two that were slightly crooked which we liked as they looked windswept as most trees do in the Cape.
Then Hennie lifted these huge trees on a trolley and we pushed them up the slope to the nursery. In the end I am not sure if I was pushing or hanging on. It was hilarious - I was exhausted for the rest of the day. Fortunately when we got to the top Hannes had arrived to help offload. See how easy it is to lift big trees when you use two poles. After that I needed a coke moment. Tracy got to enjoy sitting under the olive trees and help us learn the names of a few plants every day.
Today, Thursday was a disaster, it poured and poured, we were trying to lay a foundation and level ground. It was impossible, we went home early, I really felt as if we were losing momentum today... but we'll get there.
