The farm

So as per request, I'm just posting a blog with some pictures of the farm where I've been staying. I can't really remember what I explained before, but this is the farm. In the first picture, you can see a big building, which is actually 2 homes. Ours is the brown side. This is actually taken from the back of the house, and that's the vege garden on the right.
The next photo is Lenka up in the old apple tree that's out the back near the creek which runs beside the house. That was our job today, which as huge, as the tree is about 60 years old, and probably hasn't been pruned in about 30 years.









This is Nivot on their new baby tractor. It's name is Kornjic. Isn't he cute?
I really don't know whether it's big enough to pull the huge trailor they have on the back, but it's been pretty funny at times to watch. Nivot can actually lean back and attach the trailor without getting off the tractor.



And this is the yard in front of the house. The building and fenced area you can see is where the goats live. They have about 8 adult goats and now 9 kids, 4 born in the time I've been here. Pretty cool. But the ram REEKS!!!
Note to self, goats are fun, but rams are annoying and smelly...


















Finally this is the new other WWOOFer who has just come this week. His name is Gabby and he is from a village in France with a population of 30! And the little terror on his back is Sammy. Sammy normally cries every time Lenka is not within a metre radius, but Gabby and I have managed to win him over, and are both often on baby-sitting duty now. The trick? That back harness is a miracle worker, and he loves twirling around. I think most of the exercise I¨ve gotten is through continuously twirling little Sammy about.

So other than the goats, they have 5 sheep, 2 ewes, their 2 lambs and a rather aggressie ram. They also have two cats and two massive dogs, who they got from a shelter. The dogs had apparently been found fending for themselves in the wild, so they haven't been able to train them out of the hunting instinct, hence they are very much NOT allowed out of the yard near the goats or chickens.

So that's basically it, and I'm off now to go feed the animals and milk the goats and the sheep. THe only final thing I'll say is that sheep are EVIL. You know that movie, Black Sheep? Or something like that? It wasn't fiction. It's real. They are frustrating and EVIL!!!

Sending love and hugs and kisses and wish me luck that the sheep don't eat me tonight...
