Hey everyone!!
Hope you are all well and enjoying the nice English weather! Sorry its been a while since I undated but each week has been pretty simular as in, we still go to markets every weekend and work on the farm during the week. Although me and Shian got a hat trick this week as we have won 3 weeks in a row which was awesome!! Whoop whoop!
I have achieved a few intereting things in the last few weeks, more things that I never saw myself doing this time a few months ago!
The other day me, Shain and Belinda went to pierce the ears of the news calfs- that was really wierd to do.... the calfs multiply here each week there is a new baby! we have had a cute black Angus with a white face as well as a herriford with a white face- very cute! Amongst others of course... Speaking of new arrivals, we also got a new puppy here on the farm..he is a hound called Lincon. Very cute (as you can see from the pictures) but such a little s***! He steals all of our shoes- although he only steals one of each pair and hides them and he has soooo much energy he's like a durecel bunny!! Shame he doesnt do as he is told otherwise he would be the perfect mut!
We also have a new backpacker who arrived on friday, her name is Fran, she is 23 and from Germany. Seems like a nice girl which is good. Jonny and Tanya are leaving next week so she is here to replace them and I think we are getting someone else in as well.
Been driving the automatic ford on the farm too which has been great fun!! driving all over the place!! All thats left to dive is the tractor and maybe a truck...??
OMG the other days, we all got totally wrecked at the farm and decided to go over to the gravel pit where all the boys were doing motorcross- as you can imagine the whole paddock is like hundreds of skateboard ramps. We got õn the back of Bens ute and he drove up and down the steepest hills you can imagine- it was totally insane but such an adrenaline rush you wouldnt believe!! It was just like being on a rollercoaster without the seatbelts!! Madness!! We were so hyper afterwards that Me, Belinda and Shian went out on the town as it was the dutchies last night and had it large! Sad to see the dutchies leave as they were really nice girls, but I guess everyone has to go home at somepoint!
Always a shame to have a market the next day cos you cant go totally mad and let your hair down! until..... Last week, we didnt have a market on saturday as it was the 5th weekend of the month so guess what....WE ALL WENT OUT!! It was great, Belinda and Ben, Me and Shian, Jonny and Tanya and Hayden (Belindas brother who came down from Weribee for the occasion)- it was an awesome night and then we all got to be hungover all day saturday! Such a laugh though!
We also went and did some fruit picking the other day which was good for the short time we were doing it but I would hate to go it as a job as Jonny & Tanya did it and some of the stories they have told me sound totally awful!! so glad I went for farm work instead of fruit picking! Anyway, we picked Oranges, lemons and mandarins and also nicked some eggs from the chickens so did well!!
As some of you may know, I was planning a road trip for when I leave here to go from Adelaide to Darwin via Ayrs rock. However, Shain who I was going with has been offered a job on the Whit sunday islands but needs to go there straight after she leaves the farm so looks like thats off for the time being! I was thinking of going to Sydney next as its on the way up, but just cos i can i think i want to head up to Queensland as there is sooo much i am excited about there so im thinking of flying up there...still undecided at the moment but I have another 5/6 weeks to decide so we will see!!
Anyway, thats all I can be bothered to report for now!!
Speak to you soon
Lots of love
Me xx

Daddy Hey Wanderer Fruit picking and egg poaching, you are really getting into the Aussie way of life. Listening to you on the phone the other day your next stop could easily be Ramsey Street. Strewth! 5-6 weeks is plenty of time to make up your mind, a month is a long time in politics, it is even longer over there... I really enjoy my prawn cocktail with lots of seafood sauce and delicate little bread triangles with just the right amount of (low fat) butter. No too much salad but enough to complement the prawns. mmmmmm delicious. Today I am going out to buy some breaded Camembert and cranberry sauce and I shall be thinking of you as I sit back and enjoy a nice cup of tea.... Anyway, Clarice wishes to be remembered to you and wishes you all the best, she said it is great to have such an adventurous spirit as you obviously have. She is in good health and treated us to a fine lunch at a restaurant near the lighthouse we visited, I don't suppose you are interested in what we had to eat are you....! Today it is raining so I won't have to wash the car for another week at least and what do you know, surprise, surprise next doors Christmas tree has gone.....! Love you always Daddy xxxx

Angela Hi Jen Always great to catch up with your antics in Oz. We're back from 3 weeks in Cyprus, just celebrated 12yrs married, oh eh! Now need to get back to some sort of routine, finding that quite difficult! I think it's all the alcohol in my system, drinking everyday has certainly taken it's toll. Plan to join the gym and get fit. Aaron's great, loving the hols. as you can imagine! The UK heatwave seems to have run out, rain in August is just too much! Oh well, at least it's not cold. Better get on with things here, ironing is calling, yuck! I'm doing a nail course next month, I bet your nails are getting a bashing! I look forward to your next episode.... Keep enjoying yourself & keep safe. LOL Ange, Dean & Aaron xxx
