Cleaning out all the animals, making sure they all had plenty of feed for next few weeks, weeding my beautiful veggies, which will be most productive when I am away. Trying to give the kids some time, who were all giving me big hugs all day, leaving them for the school holidays is a big wrench, but we would have hardly seen them as we are working solidly day & evening whilst away so they are best at home in their own environment pier jumping, playing with friends & sleeping in their own beds.
Living in a small village can be difficult, yesterday I got reported to environmental health for going a way to Australia & leaving my 13 yr old in charge of the animals, nobody had rung me to check the facts, he is feeding the pigs every day under supervision to earn £75 for a pair of ridiculously expensive football boots, but that’s his passion & I think important for him to have earned the money rather than being spoilt. Any way the guy turned up saw the animals were in good health, that I had contingency plans in place & reassured me that he gets a lot of malicious phone calls, no wonder people get “paranoid” I am busy trying to work out who would do such a horrible thing with out the guts to speak to me first.
5 hours sleep, two nights in a row definitely don’t suit me. I hope I manage a long sleep on the plane.
We have a great tour ahead of us & are visiting & working in Tasmania for the first time, which I am really looking forward to as it is meant to resemble NZ my most favourite place on the planet.
