Description

Hi there!

I'm Carol, born and raised in Spain and now deserted to...pretty much the rest of the world.

I have always dreamed of traveling and living 30 lives in one, but doubts kept me stuck for a while. Now, I'm starting to get there, and hopefully this will be one of the ways I do so! There are some amazing projects in here from which I would love to learn and help in any possible way. Mainly, everything that has to do with nature and crafts is like music to my ears.

I'm a fast learner and very curious about almost anything. I am also very reliable, creative and responsible. And what are the cons, you might be asking? I'm too perfectionist, too hard working and too fun, but I'm working on it.

More details about your skills

I am proudly working towards being a jack of all trades, master of none :)
I'm still getting started, but I think this is a good place to do so... and I'm a fast learner ;)

I have language skills, extensive experience as a scouts monitor, I have been a tour guide, have gardened (vegetable patch) for some time, have a dog, know a bit of horseback riding, played the saxophone, started crocheting, diving... There's just so many things that give us skills, even if we don't instantly think about it... So if my profile interests you, just ask me and maybe there's something I forgot!

And if I don't have the skill yet, there's only one way to fix that, and I'm more than willing to put in the work!

Carol joined us at the right time to witness the introduction of our first cow to the farm. She (the cow) joined our sheep, and not too long after, gave birth to a beautiful calf. Carol very clearly loved all the animals here, including also the rabbits, cats, and certainly the dogs.

We basically found out together how to integrate a tiny herd … read more into a flock, and make a functional flerd out of it. We learned together how to milk the cow by hand. We also sheared sheep with hand shears. She did all this with great enthousiasm, and with great love and respect for the animals.

This is also the year of replacing our old sheep fence with an officially predator proof fence. While Carol was here, we started that process by both breaking down the old fence, and building the first corners with heavy wooden posts. This required drilling a hole into the ground with a manual ground drill, and then hammering in the posts with a very heavy pipe hammer. Heavy work!

Carol also helped with joy and gusto processing a pretty big tree from our own woodland into firewood, all the way from removing big branches from the felled tree with axe and saw, then carrying the heavy pieces up a short but very steep climb through the forest (again heavy work!), then splitting and stacking the wood in the woodshed.

Carol and I developed another wholly new thing this year: how to make hay bales with just a big trash bin, a stepladder, and some string! This only after all the other work of making hay. She helped scythe, turn the drying grass until it was hay, and in a few cases also draping partially dry grass onto a huge wooden drying rack. This also was often heavy work, not to mention hot and dusty work.

All this heavy work Carol did very well, and we actually often had quite a bit of fun sharing these jobs.

Carol learned a great deal about the planned grazing method that we have been using since 2020 with our sheep, and since this year with the cow and calf joining them. She now knows more, and certainly has more practical experience with it than I did when I started.

We even had an open day on the farm specifically about the grazing method, and Carol helped a lot with that as well.

She seems to be pretty good at everything she turns her hands to. This showed not in the least in how quickly she learned how to kard and spin wool!

Thank you for being here, Carol!

I spent the summer (May-August) in the Sevester’s farm, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone interested in going rural.

Arthur loves what he does, and would still do it even if he were a millionaire. And although we didn’t agree on everything (he didn’t think giving me a lamb would be an appropriate goodbye gift and thought Beelzebub … read more
