WWOOFER 50

Mauve was 49 and Gary was Wwoofer number 50! A nice, round number to start off the 2007/2008 summer season.

Gary had a lot of tree planting and agricultural experience and kindly offered to tidy up around the trees. Wal hired a big scrub cutter for 2 days and Gary swished grass and weeds clearing out around small trees to give them light. We took advantage of the short grass and spent the following long weekend laying out trailerloads of carpet to keep the weeds down.

Mauve cleaned up some woodwork which was splattered with clay, did a heap of weeding helping me clear out the winter greens from the vege patch, and sanded a huge slab of macrocarpa for our bathroom benchtop.

Gary helped Ami bake and Mauve hit it off with Shannah and we really enjoyed the pleasant company of our first wwoofers for the season.

Thanks to Gary and Mauve for startingoff the Trees for Travellers season as well with planting 4 trees taking the number up to 59.

and the weekend finsihed with pizza dough made and baked in the pizza oven by a professional baker (Gary!) ...so yummy we couldn't move when we were finished.
