Stefan, June 2007

June 3rd-11th, 2007
Stefan, from Germany arrived a day ahead of the rain, which was great because at least the lawn got mowed. Then the skies seemed to open up and it rained and rained and ….We did make it to Thompson falls as you can see by the photo. The falls were at a record high, which of course we could appreciate as we had been there two weeks earlier when the water was very low.
The Sunday Stefan arrived we road our bikes to the Rocking Horse Coffee Shop here in the Blaeberry. While Stefan was here he cleaned and treated the horse harnesses, weeded and mulched in the Garden. He was very good at weeding, even though it wasn’t his favourite job. Stefan also house sat while travelled to a family wedding on the coast.
Stefan is hoping to become an English teacher, so I arranged for him to attend English classes at the local high school. I know he appreciated this. Stefan was our first Wwoofer to find it too isolated at our farm. We are at least 15 minutes from Golden and without a car, he found it quiet and lonely with just Loren and I here.
After Stefan left here he went to Revelstoke where he Wwoofed at another BnB. Then he returned here and we had helped him to arrange a ride to Edmonton with our friends in their small airplane.
