On the Farm with the Hollands

---

The first weekend in May (6th and 7th) I went up to Buxton to visit some family I have up there. They have a farm and live in the old farm house that was built in 1675. It's an amazing house. I had a fantastic time. It was so lovely to be in a family environment again. We had a big dinner on Saturday night then spent the night playing cards, telling stories and having arguments about religion and politics. One of the highlights of the trip was when Alex took me out to check the sheep before dinner on Saturday night. He made it his mission to throw me off the back of the 4WD bike. I haven't screamed so much in ages. He where going over jumps and dropping of cliffs. I needed a change of undies when I came back in! On Sunday the boys took me shooting and I shot my first shot gun. I was a bit scared of it at first but got more used to it and was even a pretty good shot!

Thanks so much for having me Mark. I look forward to coming up again.

Love
Jo

Alex took me up that hill on the bike. My knuckles were white at the end of the ride.
