London – Part 3
Today is Wednesday 31 October 2007
Finally received the WWOOFing list and have had such a time perusing, choosing and noting. Have only a general idea where these places are as they are listed as \’south west\’, \’scotland\’ \’wales\’ \’north east\’ etc…now to phone around.
Will get back to you shortly…
Today is Saturday 3 November and I have phoned around and found a 2 week stay on the Isle of Erraid, off the sw coast of Scotland. It is a findhorn Foundation place but it didn\’t say that in my book, and I go there from 10 to 24 November. I am very much looking forward to being in the tranquil environment. Now I want to find another farm but most in this part of the world don\’t have much work now. Got a 2 week stint at a blue bell farm in Wales, Carmarthenshire after Scotland, but won\’t go there if I can get a place in Scotland. The transport costs are fairly expensive for just a week or two.
The transport system in London. The bus drivers need a medal. They drive those 14\’6\” high red double deckers around, people rush out in front of them all the time, people just rush over all the roads at any time!, and the drivers have been nothing but pleasant all the time to me and I have never heard a horn. In Sydney the pedestrians would warrant abuse as would the passengers on the bus – we seem to be so much less tolerant.
