Bosco, Hanisa & Lovell’s New Experience in a Quinta
Sep 28th 2008wwoofertechnopeasant
We arrived on 23rd, late evening at the Quinta, exhausted from a long journey [ Scotland, London, Porto, Santa Comba Dao ]. Its an amazing place, we felt refreshed almost instantly, beautiful views, fresh air and exactly as described on the website.
The first couple of days we felt a bit disoriented as we had to get to know the place, the work, etc……
Day 3 onwards we were comfortable and relaxed and of course thanks to Andy and Sophie who were great and gave us the space to find our footing on their farm (quinta).
We are learning as we work and it is a very different experience, and the sunshine and fantastic weather helps.
Our son Lovell has adjusted very well, even though sometimes he wants to go home to Scotland.
The Portuguese are a very friendly people and to anyone who wishes to come to Portugal our advice would be to attempt to speak in the local language as they appreciate the effort and make you feel even more welcome.
We are also here as part of our project You Can Cook. The aim is to be able to learn and experience first hand Self-Sustainable Living and hopefully transfer the knowledge to the community in Scotland through the project.
Andy has prepared dinner, so Bye for now.
Bosco, Hanisa & Lovell
