Doing it: Three Months

This is my first night at Radford Mill Farm, near Bath.

I'm going to be living here and volunteering three days a week on the land, learning about harvest and winter vegetables and goats and chickens and everything, and 2.5 days a week at my laptop, working professionally for the Fun Fed.

I can already feel the tension of the city draining from my body.

At dinner Deasy did the nicest thing. She casually Held Court on all the hilarious things that Bad volunteers had done, and all the great things about the Good volunteers, thereby subtly giving me a clear and entertaining outline of expectations, desires and norms.
