"Buzzy" is Irish slang for traveller, and on September 7th we (Faith and Rigel) are voyaging across the pond from Lebanon, New Hampshire to West Cork, Ireland.
The two of us will be living with Lydia Bushby, her two children, Noah (10) and Edie (4), their dog Cougar, a cockatiel, and bags of chickens. Next door is a horse farm that we will also be tending to.
Please note: I said "bags" of chickens because "bags" is Irish slang for "plenty." Clearly, I am going to fit right in. As if the hair wasn't enough. - R
Lydia and her family live on a vintage cut flower garden. We will be helping her with the garden for a few days a week, and also bringing flowers to market several days a week. Essentially, we're going to be additional family members who help up with whatever needs to be done in terms of housework, yardwork, babysitting, etc. as well as helping with the garden.
We found this wonderful opportunity through "helpxchange," an online site. Don't worry... Not as dodgy as it sounds. We've done plenty of research.
Dodgy = Sketchy/Shady. Slang schwang!
We will be updating this blog throughout our journeys, and we hope you enjoy what you read! If you would like to contact us via the blog please do so by commenting and posting yourself!
Best,
Faithie & Rig
P.S. More Irish slang: A 'cock manger' is a urinal. Incredible!
