Time for a Change

That change was Ollie’s barnet. Rosie decided to try out her hand at hairdressing and Ollie was relieved to find that she wasn’t too bad… well, it could have been a lot worse. We have some before and after shots, as well as our old favourite, a timelapse.

It’s a pity Ollie wouldn’t let Rosie near his beard…

Time for a Car

Recently we have been discussing that it might be useful to have a car to get around wherever we are workawaying, especially now Canada seems to be opening up a bit. It is also necessary if we want to do some travelling (public transport not so easy in Canada). Therefore, we have started to look at the used car market. Essentially we would like something that would be fairly economic and practical to get around in, but big enough that we could sleep in the back occasionally. We’ve come up with a shortlist (based on YouTube videos and creepily peering into the back of parked cars by the side of the road). If anyone has any advice for buying second hand vehicles, we’d be more than happy to hear from you!

• Honda Element

• Subaru Outback

• Subaru Forester

• Honda CRV

• Kia Sportage

We are hoping to get one before mid August, but will have to make a trip to mainland Vancouver Island to view some, fingers crossed! It will undoubtedly look a lot older than the photos above.

Recent Photographic Highlights

This week on the farm, Rosie has been stringing up tomato and cucumber plants and Ollie has been on a fertilising mission. Cherry tomatoes are starting to ripen and we have snap peas and courgettes coming out of our ears. We are still enjoying our glamping experience, we’ve even had homemade gnocchi and campfire jacket potatoes. There is one more volunteer joining us tomorrow, staying for a couple of weeks, so we look forward to meeting her.
