Every morning Kay would knock on our cottage door. She would ask if Finlay wished to join her on the daily morning tasks on the farm. This was so good for him in so many ways. To learn something different, and also spent 2 to 3 hours every day with an older person learning new things. To be given the opportunity to interact with a lovely lady from the older generation!! Something I believe to be of great value to him but until now he has not been given the experience of this as no one of the older generations has wished to spend time just with him. For another to spend this amount of time with him daily was wonderful for him. It was so nice to see their friendship develop and also see Finlay gaining knowledge from her. They would check the ongoing health of all the animals, feed them all, clean their areas, get the eggs, brush the horses and loads of other bits and pieces. Also, we would constantly be finding the escaping pigs over the fields or halfway down the road and bringing them home again. Then in the evenings my son and kay would check and feed all the animals once again. Finlay would also call the 2 horses from the fields in and walk them into the stables where he groomed them most evenings. He also got the knack of calling the sheep in he seems to love sheep now a lot. He spent so much time outdoors with the pigs, sheep, bulls, cows, chickens, ducks, geese, and the two horses. Let’s also not forget his 2 companions Marley and Brandy the dogs Such lovely souls and good loyal friends they truly gave him so much love. Some nice home education meat ups not loads of kids but still, they all played and interacted. Also, wonderful homegrown organic foods and salads. Plus some nice little chats with other mothers.
