WWOOFing and food


Treated myself to a lunch of green lipped mussels in a thai coconut broth one day in a cafe in Picton.



This past week I've been working on a small flower farm in the Marlborough Region of the South Island, in the middle of wine country. It's in the beautiful Wairua River valley... I've been sorting flowers by colour (hard to handle them cause they're so delicate), washing pots (900 to be exact) for new flowers, sweeping greenhouse floors, weeding (LOTS of weeding), planting veggie seedlings in the garden, planting christmas lilies, and a few other little things. It's peaceful here. I work in the mornings and have the afternoons free to walk or bike around wine country. I like walking by the river. Went wine tasting yesterday - it was lovely.

I leave Saturday for Nelson for tramping.


Made chocolate pudding (more like cake) and had it with ice cream. delicious. That gerbera, that's the type of flower I sorted the other day.


Due to popular demand, I've posted photos of food. When I eat, I don't normally think to pull out the camera...:)
