I think i need to start by apologising as this post isn't going to be particularly related to farm life, it is about my life here at the farm but from what ive been doing i really could be anywhere. It should get a bit more farmy in the coming weeks as i have said i want to help when its lambing time and here and that will be early April so that should be an interesting time. For the period before that i have been taken off livestock for a while until i get settled and will be mainly working in the cafe and cooking, which is really not what i thought i would be doing here but im trying to find my feet before i take on too many new things. Might not make for interesting reading though! Yesterday was a good day for me as i was in the prep kitchen in the morning and helped to bake a gingerbread, lemon and poppy seed cake and two kinds of bread, these were then sold in the shop today, i have always wanted to cook something that goes on to be sold (and not bought by friends or parents!) and it happened today so it was quite a little achievement for me. In the afternoon i worked in the cafe and was in there all day today, it is quite long hours for no money at all so a little hard to keep going at times!
I moved into my new room last night in the caravan, it is approximately the same size as a standard double bed but it feels like luxury in comparison with the couch i was on for the previous two nights and it has a working heater, all i need now is a duvet and i should be set!
For a bit of farm news, a calf was born this morning just as the interns were going out to feed the cows, apparently mum and baby were fine.The last one to be born was in October so it has been a while. It is a tad worrying though that we don't have a trained vet at the farm and during lambing season the person who will oversee everything is the man who owns the farm and im not sure how much training he has had. Anyway we will see how it goes.
Thank you for reading my blog :) i will put up some pics soon
