It's Tuesday. I leave tonight. The nerves kicked in a bit yesterday and today! So to distract myself, I decided to check my emails again (which also helped me to put off packing this morning. It's not so fun when you're trying to pack for a year!)
I received another email from Greg at the organic and sustainable farm at which I hope to work. He suggested coming on board around Oct 27 - there's a triathlon taking place there on Nov 1! He thought I might be interested in coming to help them to prepare for the event as well as look after their three kids when things get busy...hmmm, me around kids just in time for Halloween? Sounds good to me! Not so sure I'd be willing to clip off those lamb tails anyway! I'll be curious to see if Halloween is recognized much.
Anyway, the Family Farm (http://www.thefamilyfarm.net.nz/) is in Hawkes Bay (http://www.hawkesbaynz.com/) which is in the northern island. It's a sheep and cattle farm on 1507 acres of land. I'm really keen to see what life is like on a farm...and to reconnect to the rhythms of nature, as their home page says. I bet you'll all be curious to see what I think of it!
