A Taste of the Park

image

Yesterday, Fabien gave us a tour of The Park. I saw many interesting designs for houses, some inspiring, some more conventional in appearance. My weather report proved accurate once again. Light drizzle in the to mid afternoon, followed by patchy clouds, giving way to clear skies at twilight. I met several well-mannered dogs on the tour as well as people. I think I’m going to like living there although it’s a bit chillier than Cluny. But it means we can walk to the beach from our backdoor! The first real Scottish person I've meet thus far came to us today in the form of Sandy, a lively, white haired man who lead us all in some traditional Scottish circle dancing.

After dinner we picked our work departments for the week. Everyone who comes to Findhorn does Experience Week right off the bat. It is a week of community building with your group as well as getting a feel for the place by working in one of the following departments: homecare, maintenance, kitchen, or gardens. I was drawn to the Cluny kitchen because it meant I could stay at Cluny while I had the chance, while the other students took the bus to the park to do their jobs. Melissa and I both ended up in Cluny kitchen.
