点评:I did the Herdwick Experience with a friend, having received vouchers as a birthday gift. The day exceeded all our our expectations. The experience is split into two halves: a talk about Herdwicks and farming, and then an opportunity to meet the 'ambassador flock'. We arrived to a warm welcome from Mel and had the toilets and free tea and coffee facilities pointed out to us. The farm is extremely beautiful and we enjoyed the company of the dogs and cats while we waited for the experience to start. The talk was fascinating and offered a really interesting insight into farming life. Mel was engaging, informative and humorous and offered us plenty of opportunity to ask questions. Then, after a brief comfort break, we walked up to the field to meet the sheep. This was a very special experience. The ambassador flock is so friendly and calm and meeting them was a real highlight. I would thoroughly recommend the Herdwick Experience, and we had a fantastic time.
(It's worth being aware that the talk does describe farming methods. Mel did ask if anyone was vegetarian or vegan, and I imagine that if you were uncomfortable with this content, you'd have the option of stepping out.)
翻译:我和一位朋友一起参加了赫德威克体验,因为朋友送了我生日礼物——代金券。那天的体验超出了我们的预期。体验分为两个部分:首先是讲解赫德威克羊和农场的体验,然后是与“大使羊群”见面的机会。我们到达时受到了梅尔的热情欢迎,并被告知如何使用卫生间和免费的茶水和咖啡设施。农场非常漂亮,在等待体验开始的时候,我们很享受与猫狗的陪伴。讲座非常精彩,让我们对农场生活有了更深入的了解。梅尔很有魅力,知识渊博,也很幽默,给了我们很多提问的机会。之后,短暂的休息后,我们走到田野里去见羊。这是一次非常特别的体验。大使羊群非常友好、平静,与它们见面是一次真正的亮点。我强烈推荐赫德威克体验,我们度过了一段美好的时光。
(值得注意的是,这次演讲确实描述了耕作方法。梅尔确实询问了是否有人是素食主义者或纯素食主义者,我想如果你对这些内容感到不舒服,你可以选择退出。)
