A while since I have posted under this heading. Here are three pictures of the semi-desert at Páteo, taken on 27th August 2025.

Well if anyone wants to embark on a mass poisoning spree, there is quite a little plantation growing on what is now an unofficial dumping ground in the Oceanville site in Páteo.

It is a caster bean plant from which the poison Ricin is made. 
All grade A nutters know this!!

Several weeks on, still no rain. Everywhere dry and dusty.




Spotted a whole bunch of these growing in dumped soil in the Oceanville ruins. A type of cactus, which seems right as it is a desert here now.

Well, thank you. I must get some more pictures of the desert once I am back next week but I read that it is likely to be raining today and tomorrow, so perhaps not so arid.

Yes, it will be green again in winter, so long as the area hasn't been ploughed too much.

is the grass of a kind that starts to grow again when rain comes?

Almost a year on from the previous pictures. It hasn't rained for weeks and the grass has long since died.

The scene near Páteo yesterday. As dry as a bone. There has been some turning of the very stony soil.

From Páteo there is a shortcut across a couple of uncultivated fields which takes me out onto the road where it takes a sharp bend just past Eden Resort - see map below.

That's where I took the second picture.

The blue dotted line shows the way by road. The right hand 'kink' from Páteo is the part I can shortcut on foot. That first bit of road out of Páteo has been properly resurfaced following storm damage and is now useable.
