Fox Farm.

It's been exactly a month since we're arrived in Europe! Sorry we haven't posted about our helpexchange experience sooner, we've been busy working 9-5 days on the farm!! It's lovely here though! The grounds are beautiful and the weather has been great ever since we've arrived in Ipswich. The train ride over from Glasgow was picturesque and surreal. We even got to see the ocean, which I've been missing so much. It's weird to realize that you're landlocked and the puget sound isn't just right over the trees...

Anyway, I think pictures will give you all a better idea of what's going on and where we're living than me explainging it while in a total zombie state.


The dogs are Humphrey and Bular. the horses are Dilly (the little one) and Dylan (Dartanian just came in today from training...I'll post him later). Fox farm was built back in 1380 and 1430 I believe. It's a gorgeous house with a wonderful aga. I love cooking on that thing! The apples and fruit from the garden are our good works as far as that type of work goes. The tandom and the Peugeot bikes are Janye and Alan's, but after an afternoon of repair and cleaning we took them out for a spin. We had never ridding a tandom before and couldn't help but laugh and giggle the whole ride! But so far we're loving the farm and learning a lot of new things. I now know how to make bread from scratch as well, it's brilliant!

PS
Here's a film our first host, Jules, in Glasgow made in 4 days with just a camera. She baked everything herself too!
