Summer! We are preparing beds and have started to collect the first cherries of this year’s seed collecting season. While Jon has entered his last month Nerea has just experienced her first.

Jon, Denmark:
 |
| We (other EVS and I) went on a trip to Enniskillen and saw this house, which they call a castle. |
 |
| The nice lakelands of Enniskillen. |

| More lakeland. |
Nerea, Spain:
“I think I arrived to Northern Ireland in the best moment, when the summer and great weather arrived as well to Bangor.

We visited Rathlin Island, and we could enjoy the sea-birds! Razorbill, Puffin, Fulmar, and much more! It was so exciting because in Spain we have not that kind of birds. And also, we saw seals!

This is my first month but I have done a lot of different things. I met a lot of people, in Tree Nursery and in the city, from Bangor and Northern Ireland, Portugal, Hungary, Spain, France… It is really interesting to meet people from different countries because you can learn different cultures, languages… that may make you grow as a person.
