"Why do I see these creatures in my dreams?" Mar. 16

Saw no sunlight again. It's slowly getting colder each day. I'm now wearing 90% of my winter clothing again.

In other news I did some basic work digging beds before being taken into the local town to be showing how to get there and back. Mostly because I needed to know how to get around Raglan so I could visit the castle. 

After this break I got back to work for a grand total of 20 minutes. Then I was pulled away again to walk with Toby (who I found out is a regular visitor on Friday) and Mrs. Willot over to another farm to say hello to Val. Once there we got to see their chicken farm. With hundreds of chickens you can hear the collective rumble of their sounds. Its a bit frightening almost. While there I also got an amazing view of some green hills. So much green! If only the sun were out it may be greener.

We also got to see their sheep. Or at least the ones which were recently lambing. Such big fluffy sheep. I learned much today about sheep. How they act and how their wool feels while it's still on them. And of course that older sheep apparently have larger irises and that instead of the usual up and down their pupils go left to right. Its a bit disconcerting in some way. I'm too used to cats I suppose.

On retruning I worked on the leek bed for another half an hour before stopping for lunch. Eventually I will finish that bed.. but not right now.

After a while of work I did manage to finish this bed, and went on to do some extra weeding in another bed before stopping for the evening. After some cleaning I found out that Toby's parents would be staying for dinner when they came to collect him. Also something I keep forgetting to mention (I think.) is that Jenny, Toby's mother, is the MP for Cardiff. This is the equivalent of a Congressmen in the States.  So fun fact... I've been having lunch and dinner with a congressman over the past 2 weeks or so. XD

Dinner was Dahl, some Chicken Tikka, Papadams, and Pilau Rice. A very traditional British-Indian dinner. Dessert was mincemeat pastry. (Mincemeat being a fruit term, not meat for some reason.)

I retired shortly after dinner, unfortunately I waited too long to write this so I forgot some of the more interesting and fun details. >< I got to be more on top of this thing.
