The main object of these trips is to volunteer in the communities i visit and in this case our hosts seemed to be in just as much need as anyone else as the property was in some serious need of some TLC. This helped greatly as i realised after arriving that this aspect to the trip was poorly planned. Not to worry the lord found work for me. day one found us mowing foot long grass that was still covered in dew. The ride on and the push mower struggled and regularly stalled due to the length and the moisture on the lawn, turning a few hours of work into an half day exercise. i also discovered that my childhood assumptions that a lawnmower is a bastard to start all the time were inaccurate. the mowers on this ex mechanics property started first time. whats the story Dad.
