80 Days with Campey Turf Care Systems! During my time at Campey Turf Care Systems I have met so many wonderful people and it is because of these people that the last 80 days have been so great. From the staff at Campey’s to the house mates who accepted me into the house and [...]
Week 10 saw me travel to a small town called Stanton. Even though we were close to towns and cities like Bristol, standing in the paddock of H. Curtis and Sons where you over look all the hillsides and valleys you would swear there was nothing for miles. Dave and I travelled to H. [...]
Week 9 saw me travel back to Ireland. I have somewhat fallen in love with Ireland. Besides being able to spend time with relatives the scenery is spectacular – when you can see it and in general the people are very welcoming and nice. It was great being able to catch up with Brian [...]
Week 8 was another short week thanks to another Bank Holiday. Dave and I travelled to Wycombe Wanderers to do a field renovation with Ben, with support from Steve of Turf Tonics and his team.

After flying 22 hours from Sydney I arrived in Dublin. The first thing I noticed was the harsh difference in weather. Leaving Australia in 32’c heat arriving in Dublin where the temperature was meant to reach 9’c and numbing winds. In Dublin I was greeted at the Airport by Brian O’Shaughnessy, who took me [...]
