Straight from the Grove

The Kitchen project is making progress! Maybe you think why it is taking so long? Well, you are right but
- my boyfriend is running his own company next to this building project
- we were suprised by the offer of the allotment in june, could not let that pass but that also needed some restoration work..........
- so you can image that after taking over the allotment we have a tide tide budget
- and of course we want to re-use material (fun & ecofriendly), i can tell you searching for second handed material takes a lot of time
- we live in an old house built before the 18th century so you can image everything is untidily and has to be made custom
- my boyfriend is doing this job all by himself (me, at the most i am catering and take care of the household and the dog, but sometimes -i shamely admit-  i am just wining about doing fun trips to Antwerpen or Gent or going to a movie)
- unlike most selfbuilders, we DO have a social life (plenty of bbq parties at our allotment this summer!)

Well, to me my boyfriend is my Handyman Heroe. He is learning so fast, has a lot of tenacity and vision. Can you belief you can manage a project & be the architect, the main groundworker, the carpenter etc.? I can not. I am just the decorator. So i am doing a bit shopping on the web and found this fantastic Olive Oil from Nudo, straight from the Grove
Ethically produced, fantastic design and partly organic. Great gift suggestion: adopt a olive tree and you'll receive all the produce from your tree! Promise, soon there be pics from the new kitchen!
