We will soon be heading west to see James in Broken Hill, where he is starting his job as a flying Doctor. We have had a few minor problems with the van so decided to check it in to the garage for a check up before we start the big journey inland. We were planning to move on as soon as it was fixed. Whilst waiting for the mechanic we looked around the shops in Milton. We found a shop selling Ruth type clothing. The lady that worked there was lovely. We asked her to save some trousers behind the counter for us both saying that if the van repair was cheap we would buy them. The van was a very easy cheap fix so we happily returned to make a purchase. The lady said she thought we were a lovely couple and asked us if we were looking for some work. Her friend was looking for backpackers to do some work on her house ready for selling. We thought it would be a good experience and a bit of cash in the back pocket would be nice too. We met Anna and her two daughters Daisy and Lucy, that evening and also 2 Border Collies called Beetle and Jedda. They looked a lot like Ruth's families old dog ,Ben.
They are a lovely family and live in an amazing home (26 acres). Anna explained that the wet summer had caused some pretty huge weeds to grow (they looked like they were on steroids), which needed removing and the house needed painting. We started 2 days later.
