The house has been filled with the laughter and sounds of children for the last week and a bit. Everybody has enjoyed the extra companionship including Spot and the chickens. Extra hands to walk the dog and collect eggs was a plus. The children savoured these chores as if they were presents. It was a delight to see the pleasure on their faces and to receive numerous requested daily to collect eggs. The farm appreciated it and so did I. Today however the appointed day arrived for our visitors to leave. The day’s weather matched our mood as it was overcast and drab. A lot of packing happened and the rain we prayed away, stayed away. Waving goodbye was a mix of emotions, sadness to say goodbye but excited for them as they start their new life in Australia. There are many wonderful days waiting ahead of them. New horizons and challenges in days to come. I feel much like a momma hen in fact – my chicks just left the nest. Go well, go safe my dearest friends and may your journey be a good one.
