For our first update there is much to report! 2005 has certainly been an eventful year, well, relatively speaking of course.After more than two years of hard and happy work here on the farm it was gradually becoming evermore apparent that despite our best intentions there was one rather major factor conspicuously lacking. In all that time not one person had shown a genuine interest in joining our community! Certainly numerous friends and visitors have passed through and even stayed for up to three months, but they always moved on as forgotten travel plans and itchy feet returned.
