I am in Norway, living and working on a farm..
I got told on Tuesday about the offer and I left my home on Thursday to then be back on the 3rd of September. Very srtressful, quite rushed and very overwhelming.
Glad I'm here!
First day my Uncle picked me up from the airport and fed me, took me fishing in a fjord which was very fun and then let me flick through all these really cool art books!
Next day met the family and had a BBQ, met lots of Arne Dales relatives (who is my boss).
Day after we went to a fjord to paddle in Gremvin and we had icecream and the little boys learnt their first English word "no" frm me dropping some icecream and saying "oh nooooo" to which they loved and decided to copy for a good 10 minutes... much to the their mothers dismay who is Thai and keeps giving me marriage advise!
She is lovely though and really looking after me.
Nextday I SWAM in the fjord and we went to a really cool art gallery owned by a man who owned that house and another house a few steps away and he was really tall with really long grey hair and his paintings were vey bold and dark and very cynical of human nature which i loved!
Next day was the first workday where I was using a curved sharp bit of metal on a stick to prune one of the fields full of to-be blackcurrents which will be ripe for the picking in 2 weeks.
By pruning I mean hacking at giant chunks of grass and really tall nettles (taller than mee!)very good. my hands ache a little.
anyway must help with dinner which is always nice.
Missing home lots but it is very beautiful here and i have things to do <3 x
