Godfather part 5

It’s been a while again. I have been to busy with to many projects on the same time that i forgot about my journey. So time to give a little big update.

I have been digging dirt for the last months and feeding my chickens 1kg of worms a day, almost chopping there head of with my shovel. But level two of my garden of eve is ready. Just the green grass is missing. Level three and the final one is a project that will be done in the third year that i’m owner of my non existing farm in little Loksbergen.

My past Australian knowledge of bush work is been used a few times over here in a modernised European country. With just basic knowledge and simple tools i manage to lift a few tons of concrete in the correct place and the main entrance became a fact.

In the mean time i lost my chickens some where on the road. I stopped shovelling and
suddenly they were gone with the wind. During the following days i just keep looking out for them, crying out, feeding and much more, But they were definitely gone to better places . They took there backpack full of eggs and hit the road. Are they all departing from a sinking ship and the captain stays still the end , i don’t know. But i know where the expressions no luck with the chicks comes from now.

But the biggest update is that i became godfather the last month. My sister became the proud owner of a big boy named Tristan. So a next generation of Hertsens is being putted on the earth. A good thing or not , it’s reality.

My task as godfather will be definitely putting some Australian roots in Tristan, the only thing i hope for is that one day i m not waking up with a dead horse head in my bed.
