We stayed at the Williams place in Rowville for a week or so. Peter and Val have a couple of acres with the usual few animals and farm stuff. We played farmer for a week whilst our van was having some work done and Peter, Val and Corrine went off for a few days.
Yep we put on the "wellies" and collected the eggs, watered the veggies, cleaned out the cow troughs, had a couple of BBQ's, and spent some quality time with Rose's dad Jac.
We were on a pretty steep learning curve. Last time we stayed there we learned that you don't heard chickens so we didn't spend too much time on that although we did feed them some "ultra, ultra" hot pizza that we couldn't eat. We sort of expected they might either go off the lay or provide us with curried eggs.
When we were cleaning out the cow troughs, Rose was a little excited when the cows became a little exquisitive, so we "mooved" them into another paddock. We finished the job and Rose took off to do other things, I proceeded to heard the cows back and had just got them to the gate when Rose appeared waving her hands in front of them "do you want any help", upon which they decided to head back past me. "Oh..... sorry".... mumble, mumble...... I better go and get them again..... I herded them up again only this time the dog decided he wanted to help.... off they went again. Bugger it.... he shuts the gate, goes back inside, grabs a beer..... stuff it, they can stay there!
