Im back (online)... and i have news!

Well what amazing couple of weeks i have had. Many of you have been emailing and threatening to do nasty things to me unless i updated the blog so here goes... (hope you are up for some reading!) So i last left you with about a week left o camp. The last wekof camp dragged on like was never going to end but it did... (surprisingly enough) and by the saturday afternoon, the property lookd like a ghost town... the dorms were finally (earily) empty and there were counsellors wandering around aimlessly, looking like lost little souls. so Saturday night after all the campers had gone, Marika had a party at her house which was also a going away party for her departure to Germany for one year. After Sunday most of the counsellors left the property for home which pretty much just left me and the kitchen staff from the specific group of summer camp staff.

I guess here is a good a time as any to mention the news that i promised from the last blog! Some of you have already heard the news, but I will be in the US for a further 4 months until late January or early February. I'm quite excited about the extended stay however i will be missing all of you at home but i can assure you that i think of you all everyday and i will definately be coming home after the 4 months is up!! This means that i will be missing out on chrissy at home and stuff like that but imquite excited for a white christmas and New Years Eve in New York City!

Anyways, so n the last couple of weeks, camp has officially closed down for the year, Arno (my boss) got married, which ment i got to spend a night in New York City and partied HARD for Olga's hen night. that was lots and lots of fun!

Ive also been on a one week trip to Canada and stayed with Marieke in a town called Guelph... its a really cool little town built soley around the University of Guelph. Whilst there, we got up to all sorts of shiznat. We went to a concert for a band called "Matts Mays & El Torpedo" and opening for them, was another Canadian ripper, Brian Byrne. Over the summer i have grown to love these two bands and i was so unbelievably lucky to be able to see both of them perform on the same night, one after the other! Anyways, so after the concert we were invited back stage and the bands bought us free rounds of drinks and we were all invited back to the after party which was huge fun and very entertaining to say the least! I also got to go to Niagara Falls and do all the tourist-y things available there. Unfortunately the week came to a halt rather quickly and i had to jump on a coach and make my way back to New York via Toronto, Buffalo, Syracuse and onto NYC (just incase anyone cares! lol).

So for about a week i have been working down in barn on my own and doing my horsely duties each day. I know ome of you would shudder at the thought of being alone for starters, and on top of that, double shudders for BARN WORK (which, yes, does involve shovelling shit for a portion of my day, each day)... but its actually lots of fun! im having some of my friends from NYC and Canada come and visit me periodically so i dont go any more insane whihc will be welcome break im sure. One last piece of news: MY MUM IS COMING TO VISIT ME! YAY! yes its true, my mum is coming to stay with me at the farm for two weeks starting in early October! we are sure to have lots and lots of fun!

oki think thats about it from me for the moment... i will be posting regularly now that my blogging dilema is solved (my laptop broke... MAJORLY and now its healthy again!). Sorry for the big gap in posts but i can assure you that i wont take that long in between blogs again... assuming everything goes to plan! photos ar sure to be up within the next few days!

ok, missing you all like crazy... keep the emails coming, i love hearing about everything from everyone! hope everyone is safe and having fun.
