Back Field in Motion

It's all go in the View from the (Ibiza) Villa's back field. Regular Villa Viewers will remember the day Pep's (the owner of the field) goats were born. Now they follow him round like little puppies - they're hobbled to slow them down to his speed - and are voracious eaters.

Here they all are under a carob tree

and on the subject of trees, the peasant labour force of almond and carob harvesters has just turned up.

The modus operandi is to knock the nuts from the tree onto a big sheet on the ground, gather them up and then pound them to a pulp to use in Ibiza's top secret Christmas dinner dessert, Salsa de Nadal.
