An Old Video of Archie

3/6/2014

Hey hey!  My name is Donovan.  I was a WWOOFer on Chris and Olly's smallholding for a few weeks in October.  This post is a long time coming.  Shame on me!  I'll try to keep it short and sweet and with a video of Archie as he was in all his stunted glory when I was there five months ago.

Chris and Oliver were spectacular hosts and even better cooks.  A day never went by that I didn't eat well.  The work was difficult but rewarding in its own way and my fondest memories while WWOOFing in Ireland were in Glenasmole.  Fall was a beautiful time to experience the Dublin area and although I always started the mornings with a thick wool sweater over two layers and a beenie pulled tight over my head, once the work started it would quickly become t-shirt weather.  That said, it sure would be nice to see Ireland in the Spring and Summer some day, and when I do I'll definitely hope to see Olly and Chris' smallholding and all the progress and transformation and growth that I'm sure it will have gone through.
Anyways, enough typing, here's a very overdue video of Archie.
