...Or maybe the farmer is just in New Zealand where EVERYTHING is backwards.
Taking a trip when you own a farm full of animals who depend on you can be almost impossible without the help of good friends, and you find out REAL quick who your friends are when you propose that they should take over your life for three weeks!
Luckily we have good friends.
When Leiah's family moved to New Zealand a few years ago we always knew we would be going to visit them.
Since then we have gotten married, had two serious accidents, sold one house, bought the farm and have along the way accumulated three dogs, two 'fricken grey parrots, a couple chinchillas and thirteen sheep ( 1/3 of the dogs and 1/2 the parrots are a direct result of their global move) making us a couple of busy Bauers. Somehow even with all of this going on in our lives we finally managed to find someone to take it over for three weeks and go away on our first major vacation together, sort of like a belated honeymoon; If you can call being in a car with your parents/in-laws and brother/brother-in-law for three weeks a honeymoon!
But this isn't a blog about foreign travels to places where they say things like 'heaps of fush n chups, bro'. It's about the day to day lives of two city people making a go at farm life.
One thing New Zealand certainly showed us was that as beautiful as it was, we are very lucky to be living this life we have together, away from the complications of the city and the general population
We are happy to be home :)
