Te veo contenta.<br \/>\nPaula: Gracias Steven. Estoy muy bien. Compramos una granja a principios de este a\u00f1o y nunca he estado m\u00e1s feliz ni m\u00e1s sana.<br \/>\nSteven: \u00bfD\u00f3nde est\u00e1 la granja?<br \/>\nPaula: En las afueras de Madrid. Entre Madrid y Toledo. Est\u00e1 en un lugar muy hermoso. Sol\u00eda ir all\u00ed a menudo cuando era ni\u00f1a.<br \/>\nSteven: \u00bfTienes mucha tierra?<br \/>\nPaula: Bastante s\u00ed. Tenemos caballos, vacas, ovejas, cerdos y patos. Oh, y un burro.<br \/>\nSteven: \u00bfTienes tractor?<br \/>\nPaula: Por supuesto. Tenemos dos. Colmenas de abejas y gallinas tambi\u00e9n. Tenemos huevos frescos todas las ma\u00f1anas. Y miel.<br \/>\nSteven: \u00bfY frutas y verduras?<br \/>\nPaula: No nos dedicamos a la venta de frutas y hortalizas, pero tenemos nuestro propio terreno para cultivar nuestras propias frutas y verduras.<br \/>\nSteven: Suena maravilloso. Me da envidia. Me encantar\u00eda cultivar mi propia comida.<br \/>\nPaula: No es f\u00e1cil. Siempre perdemos muchas cosechas por diversas razones y nunca podemos relajarnos. Las cosechas nunca est\u00e1n garantizadas de ninguna manera.<br \/>\nSteven: Me imagino.<br \/>\nPaula: Los \u00e1rboles frutales suelen ser muy consistentes. Pero el a\u00f1o pasado tuvimos muy poca fruta debido a las heladas tard\u00edas que destruyeron las flores.<br \/>\nSteven: \u00bfOrde\u00f1as las vacas?<br \/>\nPaula: Orde\u00f1amos las vacas en nuestra granja para obtener leche y tambi\u00e9n hacemos nuestra propia mantequilla. Pero, yo no orde\u00f1o las vacas. Hoy en d\u00eda se orde\u00f1an con m\u00e1quinas.<br \/>\nSteven: Me encantar\u00eda estar cerca de animales, pero no podr\u00eda matarlos.<br \/>\nPaula: Los enviamos a un matadero cuando les llega su hora.<br \/>\nSteven: Tampoco podr\u00eda hacer eso.<br \/>\nPaula: Es parte de tener una granja como esta Steven.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, how did you get on?
