wow, am I tired! I can't believe how hard I've worked in the past few days! PHEW! We are CONSTANTLY on the move in the kitchen...if you're not cooking something, then you're washing up something or drying something or sweeping something. Today there's a "new" batch of people coming...there are 6 vegans in the bunch....you wouldn't believe the diet restrictions some people have....and the poor cook has to design meals around all of them! I would not want her job! She is very "un-cook" like....i.e. she's VERY kind, VERY patient and incredibly collaborative. I've never encountered a chef like her!
I have settled in very nicely here....I've hardly had two seconds to myself...but it's been great. This is not the most exciting post, because I'm exhausted! Hopefully, on my next day off I can devote a bit more time to the blog situation...
well, there are about 2 other "vollies" (as we're called) waiting to get on, so, cheers for now! mary out.

Hi Mary,
It sounds like you are having a great time over there. I'm actually feeling in a very Scottish mood right now, because I'm listening to Celtic music, and I'm reading a book right that takes place in the Scottish Highlands. Its called Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, and its about a woman who travels back in time to 18th century Scotland. Its very good so far. I can almost imagine you as the main character, prancing through the Scottish countryside.
love,
Claire

Why Claire, sounds as if you are summering in Iona as opposed to Geneseo....I guess the rolling hills of Livingston County are a good substitute for the isle's countryside. Anywho, I will just continue on knitting my socks with wooly wool (not from the Scottish hairy loos or kooos or whatever they are) while missing Mary! Carry on in the kitchen and keep on having lots of fun.
