We are still very much alive and well. We have been working our socks off picking, eating and dreaming about picking kiwi fruit. Its quite a laugh we are working with a good group of people. seeing some sights and swapping some stories. We look forward to Fridays because its a cheap sauna, steam room and jacuzzi day after work £2.50 each mmmmmmmmmmmmm very relaxing. We have some great neighbours where we are staying, Noleen and Jim (next door), I made them my world famous, well levi root's world famous, Cariabian chicken and they enjoyed it (i think) Then there is Gav the south island fisherman, he always comes back with a fish and gives me most of it! And Dave who we play Rumicub with sometimes in the evening. They are all, like everyone here, very nice!
Hi Steve (Dad) and Sandra we were working here the other day and thought of you both. Does the veiw remind you of anywhere in particular???????
Here is a picture of us both sporting the latest fasion accessory for picking kiwi fruit. The aim of the game is fill it up with fruit and tip it out when full. Fascinating stuff hay! feel like i've got kiwi fever!
Back to the kiwi fruit. This is just $30 (£15) to us for picking this amount, so as you can imagine we have to work fast. We usually pick 3 1/2 times this each, per day! Crazy!
We went on a day trip the other day on our day off. We were told to go to this nice little town in the middle of no where. Unfortunatly everything was closed because it was Sunday. But this is one of many cool old cars parked up there.
We are split in upto teams when we pick the fruit. This is our picking team. We are the A team, well the b+ at least.
Well the plan so far is to work up until September time, and save as much money as possible! We only have a week left of picking but the pruning begins after that. In about October (spring) we will do a bit more exploring in Bertha. Thanks for tuning in, its been fun!
