It is - but we love every minute of it - well, nearly every minute, the mud can be tiresome when you can't walk properly

the farm is really good fun and a great experience, there are sadder points but thats all a part of working on a farm. i was chasing baby goats for the sheep shearer as he wanted to buy them, it was great fun. i have also been chasing some escapee sheep, which was great fun. so i will keep you all updated, and thanks again for everyones support.

Wow Matt, you're really lucky. My work experience was in an office, so boring, its no wonder i don't work at all now!

[mountainboarddude]

i have just finished my last day on the farm , i got to drive a tractor, and got spat at by a llama. but the best thing is that i have been offered a job to work there on saturdays .

[Mrs Frugal]

yay!! what a great result, Mat! Congratulations!

[Snowy]

Well done Mat! Great result

[Egluntyne]

Well done Matt, sounds like you made a great impression......... even with the llama

[Gallina]

You are so lucky, Matt, to have had such interesting work experience.

 

A few years ago my son mentioned librarianship as one of the things he might be interested in, and his school sent him to Trinity College library in Oxford for a week. He spent the whole week humping books from one area to another, and to add salt to the wound, there were some students with him who were actually being paid to do the same work!

That's great news Matt. Wish I could get a Saturday job like that-it would be so much fun!

[seagullukuk]

Congratulations Matt well done.

You obviously drive a tractor with more care than me.When I was on day release many years ago I was asked to drive the tractor back with my instructor in the back inside a trailer. I forgot the trailer was wider than the tractor and hit a gate post!!

 

It was a long walk back and the instructor drove the tractor back!!

Happy memories

[mountainboarddude]

although driving the tractor was great fun, my foot could'nt quite reach the clutch, so when it came to braking, i stalled the tractor and nearly hit a fence . i am hopefully going to sort out my job today, to see if they still have a vacancy for me. i will keep you all posted on how it goes.
