Monthly Journal, November edition 2024 Gradually the signs of nightly visitors from El Tribu de Jabalí are fading from the garden. More recent attempts of entering ´their garden of delicacies´ are visible on the other side of the newly installed fence but by the look of it the boars have finally given up. Good news…
In this early edition Andree sketches a nice picture of last month’s living in the Garden of Nâm. Special Guests We have had several specials guests in the Garden of Nâm; invited and not invited, day and night visitors: Guest number 1 was Chico, the very nice, young dog of our neighbour, who was all…
