We are staying at Clem's friend Bruce's farm (on the south coast of WA between Albany and Denmark). It's really really big. It's 1500 acres and there is 900 cows! He also grows lots of asparagus, raspberries, sweetcorn, sugar snap peas, melons, bramble berries, jerusalem artichokes, and tomatoes. We had a ride on the ute (a pickup truck) and we picked asparagus and corn and raspberries.
This is me on the ute. We went to check the cows and the water pump for the asparagus.
We are staying in a 'shack' in the asparagus patch. It's a really nice shack. It's got three beds in one room and one bed in another. It's got a kitchen and bathroom. The water comes from the rain and gets stored in a big tank. We can't use that much water.
We played in the asparagus patch with Bruce's daughter Elsa. She came for a sleepover at the shack.
Lovely to read about your adventures! My asparagus bed is c.2m x 1.5notlarge enough to play games in! I bet it was shady and cool in there.What a bg farm! Are the cows outside? It must be a good climate to grow raspberries - they are native to Scotland and the best ones you can get are grown on farms in Angus, cooler than the south of England. The shack sounds great! What a lovely place to stay and make yet more friends. Enjoy New Zealand! Nana x
ReplyDeleteHi Nana
DeleteYes the cows are all outside and they just eat grass. The raspberries were great. And the mulberries were nice. Me Josie and Lily all slept in one room in the shack all together. Today we are in Dunedin packing up the house. I've been playing spies and playing with lego with Ned and Pippa.

Hi Lucy! Great you enjoyed Dunedin, and I hear the glacier was good. How did you like Tasmania? Are you helping Aunty Naomi with her little ones? Hope you enjoy Melbourne. It is sunny here and the birds are starting to build nests and sing. Love from Nana x
