This weekend we were lucky enough to be able to visit the farm of Amy, Jason, and Elka. Amy was my lab neighbour over many long years of honours and PhD, and we shared in many adversities during our time in Canberra. Now she has found her own little spot of paradise – a small close enough to commute into the city for work, but big enough for horses, cats, chickens, ducks, and recently, a beautiful baby girl called Elka.
Amy has always worked so hard, so it is no wonder that she makes running her menagerie seem effortless. Her five-month-old baby is a delight, sticking to a schedule of naps and sleeping through the night. Her horses did their best to throw her off her game by throwing a shoe as soon as the farrier had left to fix the last one, but she managed the whole thing with grace and humour.
They even found time to take us to Mount Tamborine to see the waterfalls and the shops, and on the way there we saw hang-gliders and para-gliders dive off a grassy cliff, and almost impossibly sail into the air, gradually circling up above us.
