Our Terrace Tablecloth in Gazebo got SHREDDED by Pack of Dogs

 Oh my, with all our hard work and weeks of consulting and doing seminars for mushroom people, we finally went on a real VACATION.

By luxury bus, from The Netherlands that is.

First going 'home' for seeing Mom & Dad and Family and Friends...

The vacation via France to Portugal and Spain was just wonderful; one of the BEST we ever had and a good group of some 19 people on that bus.

We took turns for having a different view in the bus and really indulged in it all.

Then you have to fly back to the USA and drive home.

BUT we did not expect to see this...After finding a very special terrace tablecloth in a Dutch magazine, I bought this from The Netherlands.It does not blow away from wind, because the fabric had a vinyl coating. Found out it was made in Germany, brand Friedola.Never have been able to locate any like this, nor being able to replace it...
Have you had surprises like that in your garden, gazebo or on the patio?

Dieng Plateau area spent mushroom compost being carried up to terraces

 So very often have we seen the hard work by the men working those horticultural terraces in Java, Indonesia.

Also the thousands of tons of spent mushroom compost carried up, after having being dumped alongside the main road.

 

Best viewed on YouTube for being able to use the clickable points with written info below.Also shown are the stone breakers at work.We saw them numerous times, on different roads... Such hard work!The terraces yielded tobacco, corn, cabbage, potatoes and so on.In the tropics things can be grown year round.
