My home for the next 3 months, or the 'oven' as we lovingly call it. Dammit, it's turning me into an earlyriser!
We're planning to buy and distribute 500 goats next month, so that means I have to trudge around in goat shit squeezing their teets for the next couple of weeks. Man I love this job...
Amongst other things, a popular weekend picnic destination where the locals come and wade with their floaties on in knee high water.
