Last night, over dinner, my dad was sharing about his Australian friends who work full-time and run a hobby farm as an after work recreation. I’ve visited their 60-acre farm in Austalia before. Ian and Helen Ward’s lifestyle is amazing.
Every morning before work, they will wake up early to make sure their horses are not too cold (the horses wear rugs as winter jackets) and feed the dogs. After that, they will shower and get to the office. They will work from nine to five, then they will get back and tend their gardens, pamper their cattle with fresh hay, train their horses to gallop and canter, weed out any suspicious looking plant in the pasture and play Fetch with the two labradors.
The good news is, Nic is now convinced that it is a good idea to travel to Australia and visit Ian & Helen Ward’s hobby farm at the end of next year. Thanks to budget airlines, the flight to Australia is getting more and more affordable so the plan is looking really possible.
