Rise and Shine @ 6.30am!!!

Before we start for the day, allow me to introduce you to the owners of this Beautiful Farm. Janet with Aunty Betty, who are introducing us to the sheeps in the farm. They really respond when names are called out. Amazing....!!

Janet has about 40 sheeps in her farm and about 10 of them are named. Erm, if I remember correctly, we have Mary, Alice, Ricks and Rita.

Below, we have Robert, retired teacher and does all the handy work around the farm. He was sawing away when we woke up in the morning, or did his handy work woke us up. Hrm....

After introducing the owners, we are moving on the to farm. The house is situated in the middle, surrounded with by greenery and a small stream further down. In front of the house, there are apple, orange, peach and apricot trees, with a vegetable patch and shelthered fruit patch.

Although it is in the middle of Autumn, but the weather had been sunny. Hence, there were strawberries, raspberries, red current, black current and kiwi for picking. So we are in the greenhouse with baskets, having the time of our lifes, harvesting fruits.

We also plucked a few vegetables and fresh herbs for our Italian Vegetable soup tonight, like Zuchinni; Leek and Thyme. The rest, we had to get them from the nearby market.

Do you know that Janet's Homemade Jam had won numerous awards? I had the chance to learn the secret to the best Jam in town.. You want to know??

Never.....!!!!!
