How we got here

Our Story

A patch of land outside Parale, a handful of cows, and a decision to stay.

What we are after

Our Philosophy

Why two people left cities for this valley, and what it has argued back since.

October — Februarynow

Everything we got right in June arrives in January. Nothing good here happens on the day you want it — it was settled months ago by somebody doing the dull part properly, in the rain, with nobody watching. One of our fathers wanted a life away from the city and never got one. We are living his idea, a generation late.

You cannot buy a good January. You can only turn out to have earned it.

Things to Do Around

You are welcome to do nothing at all. If you would rather not, here is what is worth the walk.

An hour up, an hour back, and the valley to yourself.

Both ends of the day. Nobody minds if you sleep in.

03The weekly market30 minnow

What the district grew, sold by the people who grew it.

04Swim, when the water is high15 min9:30 am

Worth the walk once the monsoon has filled it.

05Sit still until dark, then look uphere5:30 pm

A fire when the light goes, and a telescope.
