The Sheepish Pond

11:08 PM
After all the excitment of treking across Europe, we've settled down with our new hosts Elke and Rene in Austria. Three years ago, which is actually around the same time we moved to NY, they moved out to the countryside to live more sustainably and are totally rocking it. Their little farm includes a whole flock of turkeys, a coop full of chickens,...

A Room to Remember

8:01 AM
Last week we came again to another point in our trip where we had to make another big journey across Europe. Thankfully we were a bit more prepared this time and were able to trek from West Dorset in England to near St. Pölten in Austria without any major hassles and without spending major money. We broke it up into three days. First...

Old Bidlake Farm

As usual, we're running a bit behind on the blog so you are all just going to have to live in the past a bit with us while we reminisce about our stay at Old Bidlake Farm. This WorkAway was a bit different than the others because we were only staying for a week and we were their first ever WorkAwayers. A little...

But thankfully there was no need, as there usually isn't, because we were once...

The Wildsmiths

1:57 PM
We could write so much about Max, Coco and Pabs but two of the four weeks of our stay we were lucky to learn more about the human half of the Wildsmith family. We've talked before about how sweet they were for taking us in when we needed it most and these two weeks truly cemented their kindheartedness. We were again right there...

Max, Coco, and Mr. Pabs

1:49 PM
We've already established that when we're busy we shirk our blogging responsibilities but it seems the exact opposite is true as well. For most of the last four weeks we've been charged with petting puppies and only two weeks of that time did we have any responsibility beyond that (feeding the puppies). So I guess this excuse is that we were experiencing a very rare vacation...
