London

I left combe farm the first October because I though I did all the different job I could do, and I was bored,I did the arround of the farm (I saw all I wanted to see), and the works was not hard but just boring, and not very interresting (to clean the stable,to do the weeding,to repair the fencing (the best job I have had...)) so I went for a short stay to London which was very very pleasant!

Thank you!

But without money (because I have had a little problem with my computer) we did just the free stuff, and the free stuff were... the museum! We have visited the British museum and the Natural History museum and, surprising, it was interresting and not too much boring (may be because someone read for me the information about the differents object!)

The Van Gogh's Tournesoles will be for the next time... !!

Yes, I am in a museum!

a mystery, how can they stay like this all the day?

Combe farm

When I have arrived to Combe farm, there was no word to qualify the landscape and the hotel at the top of the hill because it was so …

And it was only the beginning, there was a show wich was organized in the farm : about 100 peoples came to see the different horses and their foal! So all the stables was cleaned, the horses brushed and everybody  weared nice clothe!

But unfortunately, all was not like this…

Outside it was very beautiful, inside it was an other story:

The kitchen was so dirty and messy, the same for the living room and for the office! Nobody did the housework, never! And nobody cleaned the table or put away the food in the fridge (not very difficult to do…) so the result was a real carnage: flyes everywhere (even in your cup of tea, delicious), all the food was outdated, and often, it rotted in the fridge, or somewhere else (the records it’s for a bowl of soup:  about 20 days in the fridge, and I left before that someone take it off…

The morning at Combe farm could also be very… awfull! No heating in the bedroom, and the windows have been broken, so it was very cold the morning and very noisy (so many cock!!)! Each morning, you had pee of cats on the floor, and each morning you walk into!

the room for 2 or 3 woofers...

the cats were the king in the farm!

But ofortunely, the people was nice: the manager (mickael) shouted me (or someone else) all the time for nothing, just because he was stressed, He had not so much patience! There was also a drunk guy (Mike), one week he was nice and the next week… it was different ambiance… so there were some arguments the morning between Mike and Mickael …

results of an argument one morning!

I said lot of bad things, but now I keep some good souvenirs, there were lot of woofer who came and left all the time, sometime very nice woofers so we could played cards together, or drink a glass somewhere, visited city (like Exeter)  etc…

And even, Mickael and Mike were very nice when he did not shout me or when Mike was not drunk!

And I have to say a big thanks to Carrie for her wonderful cook for the diner!
