Greg Preston’s Diary 28th of November 2725 AD
The last few days we had temperatures below zero, but at least we have no snow, and we managed to send the November shipment, without the trader worrying about snow. I’m afraid this hard cold could mean that we can’t fish, if the river freeze and gets covered with ice, the lake is already frozen.
The younger settlers don’t mind the ice, it is fun

Elea Helsby was very helpful with packing the rather heavy shipment this month, we sent many heavy stones this time, which also shows from the pay-check we just received. This is some of the items she packed.
A Crate with Space Rock: $527 - A pair of rare Slippers made from Shrew fur: $244 – A Cut Sapphire $90 – Two dry gallons of “Rainbow Trout” at 20 and 18$, the combined value of the shipment was 1.349$.

From Greg Preston’s Report to St. John’s Educational Foundation – December 2725
The students are very good at getting the outdoor activities done, fishing, tend the chickens, remove the leaves, those kinds of things. But when it comes to the indoor part of the household it is not that good, old food is left in the refrigerator and broken installation are left untouched.

Extracts from “The Wilderness” by Michiko Vaughan
Invited John Hallett over for a fast meal. It was a nice evening, we talked for quite some time. As an Elder I find it to be my duty to keep in contact with the students. I find him to be a nice lad, but with some hidden sadness and insecurity inside, that sometimes makes him a bit introvert.

Greg Preston’s Diary 19th of December 2725 AD
The temperatures in Decembers were high that in November and although we did get a little snow it was never staying on the ground for long. We sent another shipment yesterday which was better than expected. After that I closed down the station for winter.

Greg Preston’s Notes for next Ent Council meeting, written 25th of December 2725 AD.
We held our last “Settlement Assembly Meeting” today. We all agreed that the “River Settlement” was doing better after the trade station was erected and decided that we would ask the “Ent Council” if they had one or two families that might join us next season. Realising we need to grow to be able to afford some community services.

Greg Preston’s Diary 29th of December 2725 AD
Due to the bit of snow that have fallen the last few day, the trade caravan reached the mountain village a few days later that usual. A messenger just came today informing that it arrived safely the 26th and all the goods was swiftly sold at the Christmas marked.
The Vaughan House sold fresh fish worth 52$.
My household sold gemstones worth 217$, Fresh fish and egg’s worth 93$ and Salted fish worth 44$.

Economy at the turn of the Year.
Greg Preston household: Cash 9.210 – Net Worth 29.227
Jenny Richards household: Cash 8.543 – Net Worth 16.381
Michiko Vaughan household: Cash 1.124 – Net Worth 7.819
Turns out (as for now) I can’t force my settlers not to trade, they auto go to store, they might even sell the dog with my setup!! Example: Found some seed that Greg gave to Michiko – sadly she sold at the trade station, now no seeds left to plant at springtime. Well, I wanted to have autonomy, and I go it, might be fun. Clearly the river settlement is a fishing and “hunting” village, farming might just not be for us. :#
To compensate for this I will “force plant” whenever we got seeds, but not help after the seed is in the ground.
The marked was stages and also the meeting, everything else auto.
