Woof 8 > Waipukurau Updated

I am now woofing in the small town of Waipukurau with Angela and her 3 boys, 8,12,16. My roommate is Connor, he is 8. We have a secret language and practice his cricket skills in the paddock behind house. Angela has a meat packhouse behind there placein which they process veal ribs and bovine placenta which they ship overseas. I am happy that I have not been required to help with whatever process that goes on with the placenta. Moving on>> Amazing mountain bike trail about 2 miles away that I went to about 10 to 12 times during my 2 week stay. They are building a big new house and I will be busting up rock to fill columns on front and back porch. There are many projects going on here and always games to play with the kids. During my time here these are some of my activities: the horse races, sheep and beef dinner party, playing with 4 week old lab puppies, waipukurau nightlife, cricket with the boys, cards, feeding sheep, moving boxes, planting trees. Very enjoyable but always exciting to be on the move.
