This is a story of trial and error.
For years, I had been planning in my head a fish pond that would be a center piece for our garden.

Krivine Guesthouse: the movie
For a long time now, we had been trying to get a video of the guesthouse. And after a few failed trials, we finally got it! I think Camilla from the Set film studio in Mitzpe Ramon did a great job in capturing the atmosphere of our place. For an editor of short movies, thrown in a place she doesn’t really know for just a few hours, it has to be the most difficult thing to do.
We can now check a few boxes in our to do list.
- Face lifting for the South African and the French Apartment √
- Video of the guesthouse √
- Family holiday in Bretagne √
- Get the French version of the blog up and going √
Left to be done
- Get a photographer
- Update the blog with new posts (we have been hiking a lot lately!)
- Prepare for a new season in the Negev Highlands.
No, the blog is not dead!
It is just that the bloggers have found new toys!
Annual June renovation job: the South African room is having a face lift. Like the others it will very soon have a kitchenette, bigger terrasse and a livingroom/sleeping area for children.

We see things we like, things that catch our fancy and sometimes we want to take them home with us. Our guestrooms are littered with them.

Dawn Hike (with John)
Every morning I wake up at 5am and for want of a better thing to do I go for a walk. The first half of the walk I do on a paved road because it is pitch dark and I don’t want to fall over a rock or a hyena.
Valencia Oranges in the Negev
Our neighbour is a plant physiologist and his specialty is citrus; he travels around the world attending conferences and meeting growers. He is pretty knowledgeable. He had a dozen Valencia orange saplings lying around his laboratory which had been used in an experiment and were designated for disposal, so he bunged them in the back of his car and brought them home.
Topkapi Suite
We are not Isrotel, we have four rooms. But still we need to identify them. “Take two towels to the green room”, my wife commanded me. “You mean the blue room”, I said. She is a little colour blind, my wife.
About us
John Krivine
When I came to Israel from England 33 years ago, I stumbled into this village, a university research campus with a ridiculous view into the desert, the people were kind, unspoilt and welcoming.
