Luckily I got put on a team through Vinepower for a few days and started my first work in the vineyards. My god it's hard! If I had to do that for three months I would have given up for sure lol mad props to everyone who works out there! We are doing stringing on baby grape vines so tying strings on the bottom of the vines and then up onto the wire so that they grow straight up. And then putting plastic guards on them so they don't get eaten by kangaroos. Lots of bending and squatting down to reach the plants I pretty much couldn't walk when I got home on the first day! We start at 6am which is great because by the time it's about 10 the sun is beating down on you and it's 30 degrees and you're all sweaty! I wore Sarah's sombrero kind of as a joke the first day but it is awesome! And a fly net to keep the flies off you, there are sooo many!!
Thankfully the work will be done this week and it has worked out perfectly to give me a bit of extra cash before I leave on my east coast trip!!! So excited! I can't believe its Christmas soon it really doesn't feel like it! Got a lovely box of presents from my momma so I can't wait to open those :)
Miss everyone hope it's not too cold at home!! Love and Christmas spirit to all xoxoxoxox
