Walking up the hill
We were invited to our Family Ministries (FM) Director’s home and farm on Sunday. They were farmers before the Lord called them to run FMS full time. Their children have since taken over the farm.
Ooooo I love their house! It’s set on a hill and the scenery from up there was just amazing. I just love the space!!! They had a sand pit, BBQ area, lotsa green for us to roll around on.
After the BBQ lunch, we took a walk around the farm to see their cattle, saw some apple trees, kiwi trees, chestnut trees and then walked even further up the hill. Took us almost an hour to walk up! James carried Sophie on his shoulders and at times we took turns. She walked a little bit too. But it was so nice, very tiring but the view was well worth the hard work of walking!
On the way back, we got to see how the cows are milked with machines. Sophie was very intrigued. I could see she was really trying to figure out how it worked. Silly me, I thought they still hand milked the cows so I told her she would get to do it again (She did it once in Melbourne last year). I hope she wasn’t too disappointed. At least she gotta eat a walnut off the tree! Hee… I never knew walnuts grew on trees. Sigh… so many things I donno.
