On our latest work trip to the farm we continued from where we left off, carrying on with re-wiring and decorating the big bedroom in the farmhouse plus planting some seed tatties in the garden. Once again we took a full van load of gear from Govan including a couple of large wooden crates for the Failte project near Oban who we potentially may be doing more work in the future. These are by way of saying thanks to Sid, who helps run the project and who has assisted with many of the jobs on the farm, particularly the wiring and electrics. Once the wiring is finished the last of decoration in the bedrooms can be completed.
Sid and GalGael participants Nico and Ryan also mucked in with not only the internal work but also the gardening programme by planting spuds in the front garden. Since time was tight we rattled together two raised beds using straw and earth. hopefully the tatties will come through - unless the mice get them first.
We managed a few other wee jobs and payed Peigi a visit. Peigi's family lived on the farm and she has been a great source of information on farming life at Barmaddy before it was taken over by the Forsetry Commission. A good time was had by all.
Seumas.
