11 summer experiences you had when visiting your cousins down the country
1. You got taken immediately to see the cutest animal on the farm, as per your demand
Within five minutes of arriving, being brought to the nearest baby animal was a matter of priority.
2. You’d volunteer to go ANYWHERE in the tractor even though you would be of no help to the actual farming that was taking place
You couldn’t get enough of that tractor motoring along.
3. Or just getting into it when it was stationary was good craic as well
4. Horsing around on a massive pile of bales was a daily activity that definitely wouldn’t pass a health and safety test today
5. You’d always be discussing the severity of the electric fence because your cousins deliberately told you it’s “grand to touch”
Cousin: “Ah go on, it’s alright.”
You: “I don’t know… looks pretty electric to me”
Hadn’t a breeze.
6. You kept seeing signs up for a bull but never caught sight of the real thing
Rural myth, said you.
7. You definitely tried to set up a makeshift soccer pitch in one of the fields and quickly realised it was nothing like The Green back home
Unusual terrain.
8. You’d get yourself some pocket money by helping to pick up stones – the only farm task you were capable of
The HEAT.
Working the city slickers hard when they’re down.
9. You were told ghost stories at night because you were staying in a farmhouse and everything just felt straight out of a Goosebumps book
10. You would be given a taste of “real milk” and be absolutely outraged that it’s nothing like “normal milk”
11. And finally… within one day your fancy white runners would be absolutely destroyed
You were well warned, too.
Good times.
