New Hermitage Kitchen -- almost complete (1 of 2)

[Tathaaloka Bhikkhuni]

Dear friends of the hermitage,

I share with you these photos of Ayya Sobhana showing me the hermitage's new and almost complete kitchen trailer, a little house on wheels.  I will ask her to correct or add anything here that i miss.

In the first photo, here she is showing me the Royal Doulton ceramic water filter.  We will now have pure water on tap in the kitchen!  Many thanks to friend Denny for offering this excellent filter which will benefit everyone. 

In the second photo you can see the other bigger paper filter that the water will go through first.  This will help filter any heavier sediment before the water reaches the finer filter which will remove and potential pathogens.

In photo three, we are inside, and Ayya S is showing the cupboard which will have a shelf for up to 9 campers each -- very nice and considerate.

Finally, in photo four, you can see the long view of the trailer looking from the sitting nook end down to the kitchen sink at the other end.  The servery is on the right and cupboards are on the left.  Sunlight was coming in through the two skylights making it bright and cheery.  The clearing of the trees around has made for really nice light and airflow.  Although it is winter, sunshine was streaming in from the southern (back) side of the trailer.
