I enjoyed my time with Stu, Melisa and the kids. They were very gracious to me when I got sick and was not able to give 100% on those days. I started helping out with the calves, but spent most of my time there taming the jungle into a manageable garden again. I hope the Winter veges are growing nicely for you all now.

Wonderful to share beer and wine dinner times with you. Thank you for making us part of your friends and family. An experience that we will remember with a lot of love all our lives.
