Today was our first day back on the farm and now at four o'clock in the afternoon, we are already ready to go to bed and if it wasn't so damn hot we would have been asleep a long time ago! We arrived on Saturday towards the evening after having stopped in Warwick for the weekly shop, and set about trying to construct our massive tent before it got too dark and we got eaten alive by all the mosquitoes.
