here is anna
the chooks
the timber yard
the gardens i weed
hello everybody. i have left te manawa and went north. i am near a town called keri keri, at a farm called mahoe farms. they make cheese and yoghurt and mill wood.
i am staying with a woman named anna, she is originally from holland. she is 85 and such a cool lady! i really like her. she had 9 kids and 8 of them live on the property plus a lot of her grandchildren who are mostly in thier 20s. her grandson lives with her, his name is simeon and he works at the mill, and we get on really well too. i have been here for 8 days and have been cleaning up simeons garden and the gardens around the house, which are all unkept and overgrown. there are many chooks here (chickens to you) who follow my digging...they like all the freshly mussed soil! also a shy cat lives here. i am really enjoying my time here, anna is so interesting. a lot of people come and go, all the family who lives nearby, and sometimes simeon takes me places; we went to the beach one day, and some hot pools another day. they were so soothing. the weather is windy and sometimes warm, sometimes cool.
