We’re on our 3rd day of sunshine and the international volunteers are busy as a hive of bees getting this place ship shape and learning all kinds of new skills. Tuesday we were lucky enough to have some local friends come to join us, some were Paul’s trainees years ago. They helped Paul and Dan with getting some of the heavier building done while Brianna and Courtney got down to some painting to spruce one of the Gites which was very dark inside. They worked well as a team and had the place looking great in a morning! Yesterday were helped by Patrick, a friend of Paul’s from England and he showed Courtney and Brianna some furniture renovation skills. He taught them how to turn the ornate wooden display cupboard found in the Old house by Paul into an piece of gleaming art, Well, maybe not art but certainly it looks better than it did when it was covered in dust in the corner of the derelict building!
Dan has been mowing the grass after being introduced to all the various cutting machines. He is all harnessed up and chopping anything thats green and waving in the sunshine!! Boys and their toys!!
