We especially liked the farm because everyone was so kind and nice to my twin sister and me. The campervan we lived in was also very cosy, and it was great that we always had two days off each week to visit a few places nearby.
The work wasn't that spectacular, but all in all it was a wonderful time because, as I said, everyone on the farm was really lovely!

I enjoyed the work of maintaining and improving the grounds...and helping with the greenhouses of Old Manor Farm...the staff were friendly and helpful with explaining what work needed to be done and helping out...it was a nice place to work on the gardens/grounds...and to learn and bit about the plants and wildlife...i was able to use my phone to put a name to/ identify bird song and calls....what i thought was a 'tractor reversing' was a chaffinch...i think....!!!....enjoyed having a bit of a work out in the grounds of Old Manor....
