It’s that time of year people J though I’m not in Estate Service who are in charge of this I went at 9:00pm last night with Heidi and Konan to check on the sheep (or as I called them, soon to be Mummy's!). Everyone in Estate are on shifts for the next two weeks at night to make sure they have hay, water and most importantly that there are no complications with the births.
When I went there were no ewes being born at the moment so I just got to look at the cute little lambs baa-ing: triplets had been born only a few hours before. They only stay in the pens for 2 days with their mums, and then get moved to the fields.
During the day the farmer looks after them but at night about five students will check on them in shifts: 9, 1am and 5am to check. Heidi said last night there were twins and then a separate one as well, in the dining hall for breakfast it's quite clear who stayed up all night, or got a few hours of sleep. Even though I'm not sure it would suit me waking up at that time it's pretty cool that this school does such a thing :)
Today was my first service session! The second years are doing their Mock exams so this week the first years took over for them with the local school groups. I worked with Gerry, we did the ropes course as pirates and then at the we let the kids do zip-lining (to be honest I was a bit jealous of them as I've never gotten the chance to do it myself). Overall it was a good session, we got positive feedback from both the kids and our instructors.
One week and I'll be in Rome!
