 Hi everybody. hope everyone is well. Well this is where i am working . Ardwell House . A beautiful house set in a very scenic area . This estate that my lovely bosses own and run is set in the South Rhinns of Galloway . It has been in their family for more than 200 years . For many years its gardens were open to the public but sadly due to everybody being so strapped for cash and not being able to spend money on plants etc , has had to close its gates . My main jobs since coming up have been getting houses clean and tidy for new tenants, And raking of leaves. Endless millions of the wee  blighters.

back up to Scotland

Well i havent blogged for a while. I have been looking for work as well as Mark doing the same. Its abit scarce so i shall be returning to Scotland and to work there for the winter. Mark will be staying with  Lal and doing the repairs she needs . I leave tomorrow . Its abit of a detour from the amazing adventure but without money there will be none at all. I am going to miss everybody down in Walton so much. They have become family very quickly and it is going to be wierd without seeing them everyday.Hopefully winter shall be over quickly and we will be off once again. Sticking to a plan this time and heading for France. I am glad we got to the Netherlands . Its a lovely place and worth spending a bit of time there . I shall keep in touch through this blog and facebook. Stay safe everybody .
