Okay, we may not be in England yet, but as of tomorrow at 11.50 we'll be on the train from Glasgow to Ipswich. And why are we going to such a middle of nowhere place? Let me tell you a wee story that'll explain it all. After being a bit screwed by the exchange rate from $ to £ we found that it'd be in our best interest to get a job via help exchange. It's an online network that connects people from all over the world to work for families and small businesses in exchange (how conveniently named) for grub and accomodations. The job that we are set up for is an organic farmstay where we'll be doing a multitude of odd end things. Trevor will most likely to the more ruff and tough jobs like renovating or buildings things around the farm and the house, whereas I can put my efforts towards DIY crafts that they want and helping train the horses to pull carriages. They've got lambs (which unfortunately will be turned into meat-lovers meals), beehives and gardens. How exciting!
Anyway, we're planning to be there for a whole month so we'll have lots of time to take in the farm life and hopefully gain some inspiration from the scenery around us. There's internet there as well so we'll try to post on the blog and add lovely pictures of our new home in England.
Cheers everybody! We miss you and send you all our love...postcards soon!
