Sunflower in He Xi Village
He Xi Village from Crouching Tiger Mountain
We recently made up a He Xi Village Treasure Hunt for visitors taking part in a family activity weekend at the yard. Freda and Edie tried it out for us. Here are some snippets...
Freda returned from the He Xi Treasure Hunt with her required stone and a bruised toe, thanks to Edie。

Auntie No 2 insisted on mending Freda's broken flip-flop with a needle and thread. I think she's done this before...
