Back To Work And Solar Update // Our Life Off Grid!
Back to normal life! Arend is healed and we have lots of work that need to be done.
We have bad weather coming to us so we need to be prepared. Our yurt had some leaks and the wood stove wasn’t connected well with the chimney. And then of course we also had our solar issues!
Work that needs to be done and only so little time!
Thank you for supporting us by your encouragements and wonderful tips and advices 🥰

    Arend and Bionda are active on other platforms as of a few days ago. Unclear if they are still in PT and/or still together. But the kids will have to go to school - so perhaps back in NL. I also find it strange not to drop even one word about their status. But - on the other hand - they do not owe us anything! Thanks for the nice time they gave me.

    I hope you are doing well, because the whole family and I follow this family's project, and I sincerely hope that life goes well for them, this is one thing and another, as a human and a person in society I cannot allow myself to be disappointed with the lack of (apparent as I don't know the real reasons behind the decision) respect for all the people who care about them and care about their well-being, but everyone deals with the world in their own way, but that would be a lot to ask, a simple post here on the TH-cam community tab telling the sad people that "yes we are fine... we don't feel like or don't want to explain more... but yes we are fine" I think that would only be fine and would show respect for the people who follow them and care about your well being, Thank you
