Rainbow

We had some wild weather today, including rain and howling winds. Swansea has definitely needed the rain, which might keep us in water until some time during peak season. I took the picture of the rainbow at about 1700 this afternoon, after chopping some fire wood inbetween spells of rain.

The photo below has been stitched together, and captures some of the view from Schouten Beach, a stones throw from our house. The most important feature besides the rainbow, is Schouten Island, which is the island on the right of the Hazards.

I could have called this post Cameron vs. Wood #3... I sharpened the axe that was left by the previous owner today. I seriously recommend this to anyone who needs to chop wood. Wood splits with a fraction of the effort, and using the wetstone is a theraputic exercise. I don't recommend sharpening an axe while watching something scary, because it's a little eerie. Due to the weather pictured above, we have had the open fire going on quite a few nights, which is one of the attractions for Schouten House when the weather turns bad.

Jodie and I have continued to be flat out. We are closing in on getting our new brochure printed, there are new photos to put up on the website, and we are hunting down all our suppliers, so we can get in everything we need to keep feeding our guests.

If anyone would like to guess how many credit applications we've filled out for wholesalers so far... please leave a comment on the blog with your guess [or deduction [and witty rationale]]. This is not a contest... but someone will win.

The weather can quickly in Swansea... After the first downpour and the rainbow... this was headed in... luckily I'd finished with the wood chopping.
