May 28 2018

Amazing journey across the pond - a very long and well thought out plan arranged a half year ago figuring out times, express train from Heathrow to Paddington Station and a 4 and a half Great Western Express train to Truro, where I was picked up by Julie of Riverside Cottages.  We went to a Cornish Organic shop for fresh strawberries and clotted cream, and fresh asparagus for part of our Monday evening.  I was so happy to arrive, meet Julie and Harry, and take a tour of their small animal landing, have a few hours to chat, then I went to my beautiful room, and passed out from exhaustion.

 Arrived at Harry and Julie's farm and had to wait for 4 horseback riders to clear the narrow dirt land to their farm entrance.   This place is magical.

May 27th 2018 - Getting Ready to leave for JFK in a few hours

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go................I'm leaving on a jet plane.....see you on the other side of the pond.  

I haven't finished the rain garden but it's a start.  It's raining here in Lindenhurst and the street run off is going into the swale.  Once I've returned, I need to make a trench in the driveway and add more stones to divert water from flooding the driveway.  

May 23 - 4 days left before I depart to London

I'm getting very excited about this 44 day trip to volunteer on 3 organic farms in Cornwall.  There is much work left to do before Sunday.   Praying for the strength to accomplish everything that needs to be done on the gardens and house.
