Just to add to my rants - tried to phone them this morning to clarify the casual work thingy - of course, the ladies and gents don't start work before 9... I've already been working for 2 hours, writing an application.

Makes me feel really smug. :oops:

Note to self: must stop ranting at Jobcentre and get a life. :geek:

I think it must be awful to be job hunting these days, just reading about it makes me shudder! It's not very often that I am glad to be retired but this is one of them, and please, what is WWOOF ing? pbf.

And it's not just for students - one of my nieces took a year out in her late 30s, kind of sabbatical, and went wwoofing in Ireland. I suppose you could do it even in your retirement! :wink:

Oooh nice place! Nik and i stayed in a place called Sparkford last year, and the bus we got took us through CrewKerne and it looked really pretty!

We loved Montacute though - it really is as cute as its name sounds.
