Wow baby! I have internet AND time!!

Okay, here we go! I'm going to try and give a good update on everything that has happened since last time, but I'll surely not remember everything. New pictures on Photopucket, by the way!

First enumerate my birthday. On the 4th of October I celebrated with the family I'm staying with. On the 5th I went out with three lovely girls called Alex, Clair and Sasha. That night I was just known as the Norwegian girl who was 21. A lot of fun and spirits as you all maybe can see from the photos...

The last week we have been doing all sorts of things on the farm. Including horse training, moving horses in between our fields, selling sheep, moving cattle and painting. I went to the local "big" village to find Internet the other day but that was impossible. That's the reason for the hate everything post earlier... hehe! We still haven't got the horses in (there in the field), so that's a bit sad but there is so much happening anyway that I don't get bored.

I'm in York for the weekend to have a look around and see a friend of the family called Pauline. I'm staying with her tonight and are going back tomorrow.

Missing you all, my dear family and all my friends! Lots of love to my brother!! Ååååå, broren sin ja! Må passe på seg selv.

This wasn't a very good update but I don't remember everything and I haven't been any good with writing every day! I suppose bigger crimes has been committed. Take care everybody! Safe travel, Janne! Looking forwards to update from Italy! Do I smell a Blog with you as well?

liten oppdatering

My first day 2 October

I arrived last night with a way too heavy backpack and loads of dirty laundry to a family of four. There farm is just
outside a small village called Huby near York as I told you all earlier. Fiona and Michael - and there are two girls Eilleh
and Cathrina who are 5 and 6 years old. There is also 4 dogs here, China, Oscar, Mimi and Bruno. I got a big room
with a double bed and am very satisfied.

My first day working, Tuesday, I helped Michael. We went all the way to the East coast to sell scrap loads of bullshit.
Among the things was a Rover car that was quite difficult to get on the truck, but then again, what can you not do
with a tractor!?? hehe :) In between the excitement, petrol in Michaels eye and introducing myself to new people I
forgot to take pictures of that, what a shame. Anyways! Went to the scrap place and got payed £240 ish. Maybe I
could become a scraper? What do you say dad?

On the way back we stopped at Ian's because Michael was tired. He offered to drive us home and take along the
pony that Michael just had bought from him. So... The pony is not tame YET, but everybody keeps making jokes
about me breaking it in, so the next couple of days will be interesting. But not to interesting I hope.... Good night friends!

My birthday 4 october

Today was my birthday, as I can see that you all knew. Thank you all for thinking of me on Saturday :) Well, this has
for sure been a birthday I won't forget in a while! Me and Michael went to the the horse marked to sell one of the
horses. Darling "Free Willy" had to go because he's not able to race anymore because of his leg. I have added some
pictures from the marked to give you all a idea of how it was, all I can tell you is that is was different from anything I have
ever seen. And exciting!

After tea (that is dinner now folks, quite confusing in the start. we have tea and tea!) Fiona served the most fairytaley
cake I have ever been given with 21 lights and everything. The girls was all excited and help me blow the candles.
Mum: you still make the best cake, of course, this was just a temporary replacement! Hehe :) I also got one birthday
gift, form Michael, mittens at the market right beside the horses!
