Beer and Birdsong in Pecket Well

Phil’s early morning shift Spring Bank holiday Monday left the rest of the day free. Three years since our last visit, I suggested a more detailed exploration of Pecket Well. To spare his achy legs, we caught the bus from Hollins Place, skirting St. George’s Square on the way. Blues buskers and a Sunday-style market dominated by purveyors of fast food, emitted a mini-festival vibe. The Bronte Bus…

This is nothing to do with productivity. Ничего. Nada. It's about control, compliance, and obedience. You go back when you are told to. If we want ya back in the Cube Farm, you come back. If we want ya to go home with a laptop to "stop the spread," you go home. DO. WHAT. YOU. ARE. TOLD. PEON!

Causey Farm - Vormittag - 6. Woche

Wir waren mit dem ganzen Jahrgang (ca. 38 Personen) auf einem Tagesausflug. Dafür sind wir eine Stunde weg (nördlich) von Dublin gefahren.

Als wir ankamen haben wir uns in zwei Gruppen geteilt. Meine Gruppe war auf einem kleinen See Schwan-Tretboot fahren.

An einem Ufer hat ein Kamel genüsslich das Seewasser geschlürft. Es war etwas verwundlich ein Kamel anzutreffen, aber die Farm hatte auch andere Tiere, die wir uns angeschaut haben. Wir waren im Schweinekäfig, haben ein Kaninchen gehalten, Hühner hochgehoben und Gänse und Esel gesehen. Zum Mittagessen haben wir selbst Pizza zubereitet. Zunächst haben wir den Teig gemacht. 30 min später, als der Teig aufgegangen war, haben wir die Pizza belegt und weitere 30min später kam sie aus dem Ofen. Während wir darauf warteten, dass die Pizza fertig wird, wurde uns ein einfacher Volkstanz beigebracht. Das war lustig :)

This by far has been the best day in Ireland. Causey farm is an incredible place and I haven't felt more at home in a long time. If the 5 week old border collies hadn't been there, jumping into the bog would have been the best part. We made (and ate) our own Soda Bread (Matt is mum, I'm da), we learned how to do Irish dancing, we saw piglets, geese, cows, sheep, dogs (and puppies), and capped the day by jumping into a bog and rolling around in muck. The most fun I've had for a long long time, I'm so sad it's over, but exhilirated by the experience.

nothing compares to the feeling of doing a mundane task, and then minecreft music starts playing. It's really just. good.

In the absence of another lockdown - which could happen, let's not rule that out - it's not difficult to imagine hybrid transitioning to fully on-site work. According to WFH Research, "By May’23: 12% of Full-Time Employees Were Fully Remote, 59% Were Full-Time on Site, and 29% Were in a Hybrid Arrangement." So that means 88% of people were either on-site full-time or were working hybrid. And of that 88%, most of them were back in the cube farm Monday through Friday.

Causey Farm - Nachmittag - 6. Woche

Nach dem Mittagessen haben wir uns für den Sunpf umgezogen. Ich habe ein Unterhemd und die Ersatz-Hose  meiner Sport-Schuluniform getragen. Umgezogen und bereit für das anstehende Abenteuer, wurden in einem Anhänger geladen, der an einen Traktor gehängt war. Dieser hat uns zum Sumpf gefahren. Dort wurden wir in die Regeln eingewiesen und haben unsere Schuhe ausgezogen. Für die nächste halbe Stunde (in etwa) befanden wir uns in der braunen Sumpflandschaft. An manchen Stellen ist man beim darüber laufen nur mit den Füßen eingesunken, an anderen bis zu den Knien. Es gab ganz hinten auch Stellen, wo man gar nicht mehr laufen konnte, da man bis zum Oberschenkel eingesunken ist. Um noch tiefer einzusinken, sind wir auf eine Erderhöhung von einem Meter geklettert und sind von dort reingesprungen. So sind wir bis zum Bauchnabel eingesunken. Um sich zu befreien musste man beide Handflächen zusammen an der Seite des Körpers nach unten schieben, um sich freizulegen. Wenn man sich genug freigeschaufelt hatte, hat man die Finger unter dem Knie verschränkt und das Bein mit einem Ruck rausgezogen. Damit es nicht wieder einsinkt, während man das andere Bein befreit, hat man es gerade ausgestreckt auf die Sumpfoberfläche gelegt und so das andere Bein befreit. Es hat echt Spaß gemacht, doch es war auch anstrengend sich zu befreien, weshalbwir uns gegenseitig geholfen haben. Ich bin immer zu den zu befreienden Personen gerollt, um auf dem Weg nicht einzusinken. Wir haben uns auch mit dem Schlamm eingerieben, unsere Gesichter bemalt, uns gegenseitig eingebuddelt und abgeworfen. Es war wirklich witzig.

Als wir gegangen sind, hab ich einen meiner Socken angezogen und den anderen über die Hand gezogen, um damit meine Schuhe zu tragen. So sind wir zum Anhänger gelaufen: komplett gebräunt vom Sumpf und happy.

Zurück auf dem Hof wurden wir von unserem Lehrer mit einem Wasserschlauch abgespritzt, damit der Großteil des Schmutzes von uns runtergeht. Als wir umgezogen waren, sind wir zu einem Kornfeld gelaufen, in dem Pharmaphobia (Gruselstände/häuser für Halloween) aufgebaut war. In diesen Ständen hat sich eine Handvoll Leute aus der Gruppe (u.a. ich) versteckt, um die anderen zu erschrecken, während sie durch die Stände durchlaufen. Da es am Tag und deshalb hell war, hatte niemand Angst.

Danach haben wir uns in den Bus gesetzt und uns auf den Rückweg gemacht. Auf dem Weg haben wir Halt an einer Raststätte gemacht, wo wir wir uns Abendessen geholt haben. Irgendwie hatte ich den Drang zu joggen, also bin ich auf dem Parkplatz rumgerannt und war glücklich. Ich hatte anscheinend einen Energieüberschuss oder so, verrückt nach so einem Tag ;)

The Westfall Outdoor Classroom Dedicated

The Dr. Fred Westfall Outdoor Classroom was dedicated on Saturday, March 19, 2022, in front of members of the Westfall family, Emmanuel College alumni, current students, and community members.

The classroom is named in honor of Dr. Fred Westfall. Dr. Westfall grew up on a small farm in rural SW Arkansas, where he learned the role of the small, diversified farm in both the American economy and global food supply.

For over 40 years, Dr. Westfall worked closely with local farmers, poultry companies, and agri-businesses, while working on his family farm, 10 miles from Emmanuel College, where he served as an adjunct professor.

The outdoor classroom idea came from Eric Taylor, Landscape Architect and supporter of the agriculture program as he developed a site plan for the Collins Agriculture Learning Center. The idea of having a classroom within walking distance of greenhouses, fruit and vegetables, and livestock was a bonus. After the passing of Dr. Westfall in 2020, the family approached the college to offer assistance with agriculture projects. This idea was a perfect way to remember Dr. Westfall as he loved the outdoors and spent many hours working in the woods and fields. Once the seed was planted by the family, the project began to bloom as many others began donating to the cause. Built completely from donations from family, friends, agribusiness, and alumni, this classroom is debt-free.

“The Westfall Outdoor Classroom will open many new educational opportunities for Emmanuel College and community learners,” said Agriculture Program Chair, Owen Thomason. “With the unique open design, students can enjoy God’s creation while gaining new ideas and skills for the future. The location near the Agriculture Research Station will help to connect inquiry and demonstration to a fully functional classroom. The food preparation area supports learning more about “Farm to Table” while providing food science research opportunities. Dr. Westfall was an avid learner and supporter of missions. The open design represents the opportunity to use agriculture teaching and learning to reach people for Christ around the world.”

Several members of the Westfall family were present for Saturday’s dedication. Those present included – Cindy Westfall (Fred’s Wife) Owen, Gina, Malone, and Stephanie Thomason, Matt and Janese Bennett, Paul, Suzanne, Shannon and Micah Causey, Ronny and Kathy Floyd, Eddie, Delina, Jade, Will Wester, Rick and Anna Westfall Chandler, Paul Westfall, Houston and Chloe Yuille, Will Freeman, Sherry Reese, and Meredith Dunn.

Opportunities to help put the finishing touches on the classroom are available as some components have yet to be completed. Those wishing to be a part of this activity or to learn more about the Emmanuel College Agriculture Program and the Outdoor Classroom visit http://www.ec.edu/ag or contact Owen Thomason at othomason@ec.edu.

I wander’d lonely as a cloud That floats on high o’er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze

William Wordsworth

Crossmyloof to East Kilbride

Like with all good things, they come to an end 😦 and I said goodbye to Glasgow taking my last Scottish train journey from Crossmyloof to East Kilbride to be met by my old friend and Maltese Muffin to start our drive to the Lake District where we had rented a cottage for a week on the outskirts of Keswick.

Arriving in glorious sunshine, we walked Muffin along the shady banks of the River Greta and explored the delights of Keswick, before returning to base at Gin O’Clock to enjoy some fine Scottish handcrafted Rock Rose gin and hummus whilst taking in a sensory overload of the stunning Lake District.

It’s not surprising that some great writer’s waxed lyrical about the Lake District.  William Wordsworth described it as “the loveliest spot that man hath found.”  It is very easy to be captivated by the verdant vales, the bubbling brooks flowing into the tarns and the majestic mountains which together cover 2,362 km2 (912 sq miles) of Cumbria.   The Lake District National Park with its rich, multi-layered geological history dates back half a billion years and offers stunning panoramic vistas for miles around.  Views that dramatically change with the constantly changing weather conditions.

The rugged terrain of this challenging landscape means that farming is centered around sheep and beef.  The Herdwick sheep, which gives birth to black lambs, were reputedly brought to the UK by the Vikings.  Their numbers had started to decline when Beatrix Potter bought Hill Top Farm in Sawrey in 1905.  She went on to buy a total of 4000 acres of fell farmland to ensure that it would never be developed, where she exclusively bred Herdwick sheep and saved the breed from extinction.  The Rough Fell and Swaledale sheep also share the lush grazing of the hills and dales.

  Scafell Pike at 978 meters, is the highest mountain in England, but given that my list of Must Do Walks were mostly short and flat, with a pub and the end, I thought I would leave the heights of Scafell Pike to the fit, regular hill walkers.  

A completely flat walk took us to the beach at St. Bees on a beautiful day.  The tide was out exposing a spectacular expanse of sand.  A great place to fly a kite and put the wind beneath Muffin’s paws.

A circular walk to and from the National Trust’s Sticklebarn pub was one of my highlights. There is a very gradual incline towards the end of the short walk before it gradually sloping back down.  There are variations of many of the walks to accommodate the length and the degree of difficulty, so it is always best to check before setting out.

I developed a soft spot for Keswick’s own Derwentwater lake, which was on our doorstep and the Lake District’s third largest lake.  Taking a stroll along the path around its shores on more than one occasion, before and after Storm Hector.  First to Friars Crag, following in the footsteps of John Ruskin who once described Keswick as a place almost too beautiful to live in.  If you feel you can’t quite make the full 10-mile walk, you can always wait to be ‘rescued’ by one of the launches which regularly stop at the 8 landing stations dotted around the lake.

My most challenging accent and the only time I used my walking poles was an attempt to scale the mighty Skiddaw… in the drizzle and having already walked four miles.  So it was a laboured breathing and grumbling accent, so I will have to go back on a better day to appreciate its true majesty.

If I had started a love affair with Glasgow a week before, I was unfaithful in the Lake District.  During a week of almost totally unblemished weather, apart from Storm Hector, we only managed to scratch the surface of this treasure chest of panoramic and inspirational sights and sounds of the Lake District.  I will return.
