Welcome to Rubus Estate! A tiny piece of the Earth’s surface where I am creating an oasis of relaxation, recreation and food security. Everything here is a work in progress, a peaceful microcosm, sort of a fractal analogy of life…

We have several outbuildings on the estate, they are all special and one of my favorites is the garden-house. Constructed in 2016, its purpose is more to protect growing vegetables from free-ranging chickens, rather than to provide a warmer growing environment. That said, it does shelter its crops very well but along with successes there are also other challenges which I may describe further as this blog progresses. Meanwhile, here are some images taken its first year of establishment.
