I can't really claim to know anything yet. I am the total newcomer, I haven't yet grasped the rules and routines (not to mention this whole farming thing). I am the oldest but I look the youngest. I am in a temporary "apartment" that I'll need to move out of by Tuesday to make way for a slew of farm-curious guests arriving. The most promising prospect is a caravan which needs to be cleaned (by me). There's no bathroom in it and the journey to the main house is not a short one. But a girl who has worked here a few seasons told me that it's nice and quiet. What I do know is that it is absolutely beautiful here. Tomorrow is a cleaning day but I will hopefully be getting my hands (literally) dirty soon. Let's just say the suburbs spoiled me with all their welcoming arms and informative banter. Someone wise just reminded me however that if everyone here is solitary (read: possibly, ever so slightly unfriendly) then I should embrace being solitary too. Which I need to remind myself was one of the main ideas that drew me all the way out here to begin with.
To be continued...
