Well, doesn't time fly? It only seems like last week that I
was given the volunteer induction and tour of the farm and here I am, 8 weeks later, on my last day. What a great 8 weeks!
It’s been a valuable experience. It’s great to know that
somewhere in the world; there lies this really nice and open working
environment which strives to keep everyday fresh and interesting. Of course,
it’s a workplace, but that doesn't stop smiles and progress.
I seem to have landed here at a busy time, which revolves
around the beer and music festival that occurred last week;which was a great success
may I add! In my first week, I was adding entries onto event websites for the
festival. In my second, I designed the poster. In the third, I was distributing
the flyers…all this in amongst the ‘non-beer fest’ work I was doing. I’ve loved
every second and I hope to come to all future events here.

| Brier and I working at the Beer and Music Fest |
Just read my first blog again and it amazes me how fast the
time has gone and how much I've taken on board. I'm more comfortable on the
phone talking to people and I've felt much more independent on my own in the
office. I've felt like a valued member of staff and I couldn’t thank the staff
and volunteers here enough for making me feel welcome, and especially to the
three girls in the office who gave me the opportunity to work here and who
helped me along and made me laugh. A lot.
So to wrap things up, if you came to the festival, I hope you enjoyed it. I hope you all have a great 2012 and if you ever have free time and you'd feel better doing something constructive, I’d recommend coming to
Fordhall, even if for just one day a week...Anyway, I’m off to go do uni things now.
Thank you for reading my blog, and seeing as I'm coming back in
my holidays, this isn’t farewell. It’s speak to you soon. J
