Woofing

So i spent 7 days woofing, it was a great experience which made me think about a lot of things. Tasks involved making bread which was an amazing arm workout and took alot of energy. Next was the muesli which involved lots of seeds; sunflowers and pumpkin, dried fruit; apricots and rasins, honey and oats and anything else you wish. we fried the ingredients for about ten minutes and then mixed everything togethe, really delicious. I also had the chance to shoot a rifle, which was fun. We capturd a few possums in traps around the house and visited the beach which was stunning and a look out point which was origionally inhabited by maori and their animals. From this viewpoint you could realky see how secluded the house was, surrounded by bush and forest. Our sleeping quarters consisted of a small tree house on stilts about 300m from the main house. Ther was no electricity, just candle light and luckily a heater. As we slept we could hear the Morepork owl and the stream flowing. Each morning we fed the chickens and helped out with gardening, weeding and domestic jobs. Rebecca was thankful of the help with 3 children under her wing and her own business it was all GO! I also baked muffins and cakes which the children loved and managed to cook two big meals for the whole family, chicken paprika was a winner with salad picked every night from the garden.  I hope to take some of the ideas i learned about lifestyle back home with me especially the recipes.
