Cow eats the grass, which makes the milk... for me to pasteurise!!!

Having got back into the swing of life back here in Albania, I thought it was about time I showed you some pictures of us pasteurising our milk!

Its a relatively easy task, and fun at first, but has now become part of daily life here for us. Especially if we want a cup of tea in the afternoon!

Pasterising the milk.

The end result.

Initially we started decantering it into this beautiful urn. But its too big for the fridge, so now it goes back in to the coca-cola bottles it came in! obviously milk is not made to look good!

Living life here, you really have to breath in and slow down into a pace of life that requires so much more of you. Things like pasterising your milk, making your own bread or harvesting your own lemons, are things that people here do on a daily basis, and yet I find doing these things is a way of life that we have lost in the west.

There's something so exciting about buying fruit and veg, or milk, or harvesting lemons from your garden where you feel intouch with life, nature and things that connect you to people and the earth.

Have a lovely week...
