Planting trees

Hi everybody,

This past Easter weekend I went to Kisbajom with a friend from Amsterdam, Jeroen to plant fruit trees in the newly bought garden. The first two day we were buying trees and planting them. Here you can find a few pictures. We asked the village gardener to plough a strip of grass for the line of trees. And importantly, the weather was great.
The uncle of Hajni, Miki, helped us as well as some of her Hungarian friends. They are great; they drive up to Kisbajom from Budapest just to help translating and watering some young trees. And they always thing of the drinks!

After this, Jeroen and me went to Balaton and north from it to search fossils and minerals in the areas of Bakony, Ajka and Vertés. It was a short but nice weekend.

PS: Jeroen found some turtels in the little river behind the house. Later, when we returned, they were not there. Should we beleave him. He also mentioned all kind of animals from which he recognised the tracks in the forrest. It must be very busy at night around the house…
