However, with the help of Jeff (see our last post) we have still managed to complete a number of tasks that needed doing. Many of these were listed in the last post, but we also painted the battery room, did quite a bit of work on our barn conversion (see future post) and paved the back area of our large shed (using secondhand pavers) which means we no longer have to trudge across the clay to gain access.
Sadly, Jeff has now left Tenderbreak
to continue his Australian trip and will shortly return to China. We did manage to fit in a bit more sight-seeing,
including a trip to Heathcote where we visited Sally and Liss. Although the kangaroos
at our place kept out of sight, there were plenty around the Heathcote
township, giving Jeff a chance to get some great photos.
We also visited our friend Pete the
Permie to buy a heritage apple tree. We chose Opalescent, which happens to be
our favourite eating apple. Whilst there, we showed Jeff around Peter and
Silvia’s nursery and farm. He really enjoyed meeting the sheep and especially
the Llama.
Before he left, Jeff wrote a message on
the supporting post that he helped install in the chook pen. Although the
message is in Chinese, he put the translation on the other side. We wish Jeff
all the best for the future and perhaps one day we will meet up again.
