A week with Kevin the WWOOFER

Kevin is a 20 year old lad from France. His hometown of Llion lies between Paris and Merseilles.
When Kevin arrived here he had no experience with outdoor work or using tools.  In fact, Kevin is a student in Geography and Maths back home.
So in the time he had here with us, we had him clearing slashed grass, barrowing manure to the newest garden bed, feeding chickens and then got him using power tools during construction of the woodshed.
He was a quiet lad, possibly due to the language barrier.  However at the end of the week he did begin to come out of his shell a bit more.
During his time off, we took him to our usual places of interest in town, along with a few fishing trips at the channel not far from home.  He got his first taste of Australian bush food (as he called them), yabbies.  Kevin said they tasted lovely and would eat them any time.


We surely wish Kevin an enjoyable journey, while he is in Australia.
