We had another workstay booked at a farm just outside of Fairlie, which is near Tekapo and the Mt. Cook region. This was a large working farm, with 100s of sheep, cattle, and deer. But we were selected to work here for for a different reason, to build a garden playhouse for future grandchildren!
The project was built mostly out of recycled materials and with a curved roof (modeled after a birdhouse!) so it took more work than we originally thought. We had to come back after our trip for Jill's birthday to finish it off, but it was worth it, it turned out great and our host Lyn really loved it. I even learned myself a few new things out of this one!
We stayed in a beautiful self contained cottage separate from the main house. The farm was extremely scenic, with mountain ranges in the background.
We shared the cottage for some time with a couple French helpxers, they were on 1 year visas like us.
It was nice to share some travel stories.
Jill's job every day was to feed the 2 chickens, and feed Morgan the pig his slops.
They also had a friendly Jack Russel named George.
