“The digger effect” on the EC land becomes still more obvious: If you take a walk around the area approximately every second day you can follow the constant changes. Masses of earth are being moved around and land being flattened in preparation for the summer course. It can seem quite drastic when the huge machines push around the landscape, but everything is done with a very fine feeling and a thorough understanding of the landscape and the different layers of the ground. Because a handful of very dedicated and determined workers are able to do this for 12-16 hours every day we will get the right frames for a summer course.
This weekend the Swiss also made their presence felt (again, they have been here before!). They showed up in amounts that almost outnumbered the Germans (and made sure to make us aware of this, of course). On two very hot summer days, a highly efficient, hard-working Swiss-German team of workers chopped, cut and stacked huge piles wood for our fireplaces next winter.
Work on the garage roof, the tool room and the cleaning of the barn also continued, the kitchen served food and the houses were cleaned. The EC is full of working heroes and since the beginning the idealism of eveyone has been touching. And it is just the beginning…
Saturday evening, we celebrated the 30th birthday of Mirja, our great doctor who takes care of ill people and gets up to make breakfast for everyone before 7.
