Anna, Rebecca, John, Lindy, Markella, and I arrived at Surrey Docks Farm at 10:30am for our introduction with Pat. It was a beautiful Spring day with the sun shining and new lambs recently born on the farm. Our first task was to move large plant pots in the greenhouse which involved heavy lifting and was a good warm-up task. Our second task was moving woodchip (a Goodgym special) from the Orchard to the other side of the farm. After a lot of shoveling and wheelbarrowing, we managed to complete the task. Our reward at the end was to visit the newborn lambs and to say hello to the older orphan lambs which require bottle feeding at the farm.
