Here are pictures of some of our visitors

Charlie, a student from England, stayed for 2 weeks. Charlie taught us new skills on the computer, and added to the web-site.

He helped a neighbour in his vineyard, did some fencing, broke up concrete, helped lay a new path, and cooked some vegetarian dishes with our home-grown veggies.

Charlie returned for a second visit, in June 2000, to help us build our pond, and its web-page.

Mike, Jim and the tractor

Mike is from the States and helped on the pond project for a week. Jim is English and stayed for two weeks working on the farm web-site and levelling clay on the sides and bottom of the pond site using our forty-five year old Ferguson TEA tractor.

The children (James and Claire), with Naoko and Ayumi from Japan, Doron from Israel, and Cookie the budgie. 

Doron built the farm web-page for us, cleared a paddock of stones, worked on the pond water-supply and learnt how to drive the tractor. He also mowed the lawns.

Naoko cooked meals, picked grapefruit and had a lot of fun spending time with Claire.

Ayumi stayed for over a month; she cooked beautiful meals, did a lot of gardening and housework.

Akiyo feeding the chickens

Akiyo, a teacher from Japan, stayed for 10 days.

Akiyo fed the chickens, collected eggs, helped us pulling up concrete for a new path, and prepared some wonderful Japanese meals and yummy desserts.

Rebecca, from England, created a sculpture of an Oryx for our garden on her last visit, and we are hoping she returns one day to create more African animals for our garden.
