Home improvements

At the end of september we are all installed and have time to enjoy the exceptionally beautiful days, outside!

Inside we have changed the small kitchenette/ oven to another we have had stored awaiting this moment, and installed it outside in the new space. Inside the mobile home the excess space is converted to my home office, fully equiped thanks to the Chilean Government and there support of DEFY Patagonia.

Our wood-burning stove is all installed and is asuring us no more freezing moments. It also works quite well for cooking.

The first days of October we agree on invest in glass for our 5 windows, and abandond the ongoing search and the odd posibility of actually finding cast-away glass to insert. A search that has been going on for a month. Can you see the difference?

Personally I have struggled a little bit mentally feeling at home here. I have been hanging around, and holding on to old patterns - as unhealthy as they have been. Always returning to the comfortable and safe house of my family. But by the mid of September I had worked my way towards truly enjoying the place, the freedom, our love and dreaming a little bit about the future. I began to feel a great peace here, changing my whole point of view.

Today I rarely feel the need to make way towards Puerto Natales. I rather stay right here, peacefully observing spring, with the blossoming of flowers and the courting of all the different animals and birds. Sitting by the fire with Luis all in silence with a big smile upon my face.
