The last day of the symposium weekend, Brunch with a Crunch at our home, for invited guests. Photos by Jolyon and Katya.
Jolyon took some photos of the mineral rooms we had set up in our "Ongoing" construction project, our home.

Back to my photos, my camera. It was great fun to share Jolyon's and Katya's photos.

We are re-doing our home and adding an addition on. The floors are not finished throughout, the wood on the walls is where stone will go, but we had plenty of food, drink and flushing toilets! People still had fun despite the house still under construction.
