Well after the long night train and some time to kill in Glasgow we made it to just outside the town of Strontian, Scotland (2hrs north and west of Glasgow). This is the location of our first WWOOF'ing (Willing Workers on Organic Farms) experience. Our current hosts are organic mushroom farmers and the first couple of days have been a total blast. Robert, Justine, Hazel, Sam, James and Angus have made us feel at home and comfortable. We will be posting some pictures tomorrow of the place and everyone here. In the first two days we've scratched the surface of mushroom farming and have done some fence work. Patti particularly enjoys dancing to Paul Simon while hurling "fruiting blocks" into the water tank outside, pictures to follow.
We also found the local pub today and enjoyed some pints, I (Colin) was having beer withdrawals after two days with no beer. The pub also has a very extensive scotch collection, possibly to be sampled later this week...as PREP FOR ISLAY!
