A little bit of heaven in Timau

For a country that thrives on agriculture, it is rather disconcerting that the majority of its population aspires to city life. I know a good number of youth who have never set foot on an actual farm and would die of thirst even as a well-endowed dairy cow looked on. That is until reality checks in and the apparent lustre of city lights fades.

Anyone who has ever tasted the joys of farm life: growing and harvesting your own food, as well as gathering produce from livestock-and cleaning after them; can attest that city life gets stale after a while.
