Goodbye Chichester

Today it’s our last day at working in West Dean gardens. It have been nice and we have learnt a lot new things in gardening and in everyday life.

Tomorrow we are leaving early on the morning and we will get a train to London. We have booked a hotel for us so we can enjoy a day in London. Our flight leaves on Saturday at Heathrow airport around 6pm.

It’s nice to go home but we all would have loved to be here a little longer than 6 weeks. 6 weeks is a short time to get to know the town and everything around it.

We thank everyone who made this happen and we are grateful of the opportunity to get to see English way in gardening and in life.

xoxo, Finnish girls..

Vähiin käy ennen kun loppuu

Tosiaan viimeinen työpäivä oli eilen ja lauantai-illalla kutsuukin jo koti-Suomi, sitä ennen on tosin edessä vielä yhden yön reissu Amsterdamiin 🙂 aika menee hurjan nopeasti!

Viime viikolla kävin lauantaina Rotterdamissa, uskomattoman hieno paikka! Vanha ja uusi samaan aikaan, tykkäsin tosi paljon. Illalla taas vähän grillailtiin . Jos jotain oon mun ihanilta puolalaiskämppiksiltä oppinut niin sen, että Puolassa syödään… ja juodaan paljon ja hyvin 😀

Tosiaan alkuviikosta pyörähdin vielä töissä muutaman päivän…

//I had yesterday my last workday and and on Saturday will be my last day in Holland. Before that I still have overnight trip to Amserdam 🙂 Time goes so fast!

Last week I want to Rotterdam on Saturday and it was so amazing! So new and old at the same time, I loved it. In the evening we had again barbecue . If I have learned something from my lovely Polish roommates it’s that in Poland they eat… and drink a lot (don’t blame them tough, their food is heaven) 😀

Second last week

Hi,

Time is going very fast.  Its almost time to come back to Finland. Yesterday was really hot day. I got some sun burned on my back and it hurts “a little bit”.  Not nice at all.

This week I have done following tasks:
– Putting supporting canes to tomatoes.
– Planting basil to glasshouse.
– Sowing vegetable seeds.
– Watering.
– Attached Clematis to climb the fence.
– Packing tents from weekend’s events.
– etc.

Here is some photos what I have done:

Munkkeja ja muuta mukavaa

Hei täältä!

Viime viikon keskiviikkona hollantilaiset juhlivat Kuninkaanpäivää. Itse biletin kuumeessa sängyn pohjalla, mutta katselin kuitenkin kuvia netistä.

Sunnuntaina puolestaan oli aika suomalaisen juhlinnan, koska vappu. Ryhdistäydyin keittiössä ja munkkeilin vähän. Simaa oli ikävä mutta muuten tekovappuni ei ollu lainkaan hullumpi! Käytiin iltapäivällä myös shoppailemassa Den Haagissa, aurinko paistoi ja ihmisiä oli paljon!

4.5.

Muuten elämä on ollut taas aika työpainoista. Äitienpäivä tuottaa lisää tilauksia ja sitä kautta kiirettä ja pitkiä päiviä. Eipähän käy aika pitkäksi 🙂

Kesä on saapunut (ainakin kahdeksi päiväksi) ja huomenna onkin onneksi taas vapaapäivä. Sen jälkeen työpäiviä onkin jäljellä enää näillä näkymin neljä. Vähiin käy!

//On Wednesday last week the dutch people celebrated Koningsdag (kingsday). I had my own Kingsday’s party in bed (fever), but I saw pictures on the internet.

On Sunday it was time for Finnish partying because of the first of may. In Finland it’s traditional to eat then some kind of doughnuts so I also did those. In the evening me and my roommates went to den Haag to do some shopping. There were lots of people and the sun was shining. Loved it.

Otherwise life has been pretty much all work. Because of the Mothers day, we have lots of orderings that means busy, long days. At least there’s always something to do 🙂

Summer has come (at least for two days) and tomorrow it’s luckily a holiday. After that it seems that I will have only four days of work left. Time flies!

Changing display

Yesterday I was making room for a new display in a glasshouse. I did this because the temperature is getting too hot for the salads. First I moved salads to one glasshouse and I kept new salads because they will be  looking nice longer.

Moved and fresh salad display.

 
I harvested some of the plants to the visitors centre. I throw the rest of the salads to compost and cleaned the pots. Then I raked and weeded the surface and washed the shelves.

Now it’s ready for new plants.

Some weekend plans

blogi10

We made a new friend yesterday. It was a Robin (Punarinta). When we were weeding, it came to look for a worms. It came really close and was so cute!

Monday will be free because it’s bank holiday here. Here Mayday is a bank holiday and it’s always the nearest Monday.

We have made some weekend plans. Our weekend is fully booked. On Friday we are going to museum at the Chichester, The Novium.

On Saturday we are going to Brighton, again. This time to see the beach and Brighton pier. We are interested to see Brighton pier’s amusement park.

On Sunday there is Open House at the West Dean college and we are going there. We got some free tickets to attempt the open house.

On Monday our plan is to go to Portsmouth and there to the aquarium.
