Photos of the first days at La Roseraia de Sacha 

 
 
Dear Everyone,

Here are some impressions of our arrival and first days at  'la Roseraie de Sacha'.
We feel overwhelmed by the immense beauty of nature and of this place, and are oh so greatful.
Prajnaparamita
 
 
 
The last owner and his wife, Claude en Janine, awaited us at our arrival and told us about the house.
There were tears in their eyes and in ours.


 
 
I have received the key and open the front door.


 
From the sangha I received a wonderful spade and rosebush, which we planted the same day near the front door.


 
Our truck has arrived and with great joy all kitchen equipment is being passed into the house. 


 
How does this vacuum-cleaner work ? 


 
Every inch needs scrubbing, room by room, the whole house !


 
Our first meal


  
Kailash!


 
Here comes the stove and all the pots and pans


 
Odette, foot in brace, cutting veggies


  
Puja: almost everywhere it is dusty !

Chetanya, sounding the bell for supper


 
Happily together in front of the clothesline !


 
Time for coffee !
