              Visited my friends and colleagues
              on the plantation
              the last plums are picked                                       BLOG 026
              soon follow apples and pears
              we greed each other very warmly
              I would like to help with the harvest
              and I grow a little wistful,
              because I do not work in the fields anymore
              (my doctor has enclosed his veto)
              Viola and Rute aren’t at the plantation
              Viola is in Italy
              Rute currently works in the ‚packing‘
              I take a few pictures
              Mattheus fools around a bit
              Papa laughs at the camera
              the English and Jan
              are jolly as well
              Lito waves from the tractor
              it moves toward closing time
              the sun is shining
              it isn’t too warm
              September air

              Later I ride the bike
              to a plantation
              that is no longer farmed
              very old knobby plum trees
              stand crouched behind a hedge
              in between an old deteriorated house
              a rusty stove
              an old lawn chair
              in tall gras
              beautiful silent place
              on the island
              slowly reclaimed by nature

              Appointment with Mattheus
              photo shoot, portrait photos
              tomorrow 5 p.m. on the farm
              „1000 DKK for a photo“, he jokes
