We are currently staying at my aunt’s house on her vineyard in Finniss in South Australia. We spent a couple of nights staying with my parents on the way over, and will stay with them again on the way home. We thought that the boys would have a ball at the farm, with all the wide open space, the animals and the grapes. The harvesting was done just a week ago, and there are still a few bunches of grapes on the vines. Toby has stuffed himself with red and white grapes, Nathan adores the chickens, sheep and the two beautiful maremma dogs that they have on the property.
Today we did a few jobs around the farm, and Nathan thought it was all fantastic, and is enjoying being a farm boy. He fixed irrigation pipes with Shirley this morning, riding around on the quad bike with her looking for leaks. Then he helped move some sheep and the final job of the day was replacing some boards on the verandah. This involved measuring, sawing, hammering and using nails. He was in heaven.
