We've been in the thriving metropolis of Tyron, Scotland for almost a week at our second WWOOF location hosted by Terry and Mary on the Dalmakeran farm. This has been a total blast, we don't get to bed any night much before 12 after having drank a lot of beer and wine. Work during the day has been in the garden weeding, moving plants and planting seedlings from the greenhouse. Today we are bringing it up a notch, it's sheep shearing day and we both plan on taking a stab at it. On top of that the spring lamps need to be castrated and have their tails removed. I'm not sure either of us could have handled knives to nuts, so thankfully you need only an elastic band to tackle the job. We intend to take lots of photos and will have a full recount of the shearing, balls and tail removal.
On top of our hosts being very friendly everyone we meet here has been great, the first that gets offered upon meeting someone is usually a beer. Last night after the BBQ we were treated to traditional scotish music in the kitchen from several friends who always travel with guitar and fiddles in tow. See the new photo album on the picasa website the link is on the left.
