Day 1 - A tour with the Hurrens

Hillcrest has belonged to the same farming family for many years, and was owned by a sister and her two brothers. We had been trying to meet the brothers (the Hurrens) for quite a few weeks / months - dates had been arranged, we'd turned up at the house, and waited.... and waited... and finally given up when it became obvious they simply weren't going to arrive. Same again a few weeks later.

However, today was the day, and well worth waiting for. We walked all around the house and the land, learnt a lot about the place and I think made 2 allies that will come in very useful!

They have agreed to sow the grass seed for us, which is a real blessing as it needs to be done really soon.

Once they had left, we had time to just take it all in - what a place! What a project... where to start?
