Farmers block

Today I got to be very pleased about the fact that I am young and a woman.

Today I found myself by accident from a roadblock that was caused by a bunch of farmers in the middle of a busy and a very important intersection.

Farmers block is nation wide move for all farmers.

They gather as many tractors as it is possible from a certain area and they block usually a busy road by few hours at a time.

The idea in the back of the move is to demonstrate that the farmers have a very important status when it comes to food. By blocking the roads with their tractors they show people that they have the big machines and therefor a lot of power so they should get more respect and money of their work 

of life.

I agree on that 100%.

It is also an issue in Finland.

I have also decided to work in the farming/animal line of work.

It will not be easy, but it is a calling not a decision.

I'm just not happy when it comes in my way when I am trying to get home after dark in an area that I don't know by heart.

But these farmers are not heartless!

Even tough they couldn't pass me from where I would have known my way back home easily they let me pass to another road where apparently is a road back town.

I just couldn't find it on my own...

So I tried and went back to ask help from a police.

But as you all know the police isn't always in every country the most helpful when it comes to situations like this.

So I had to use my "lady in distress"- card.

Yes...I cried.

So eventually a police, buss driver, his english speaking lady friend and another extremely kind man who also wanted to go to Rethimno helped me back on a road that I recognized.

I'm sometimes finding myself in a situations where I'm not absolutely sure where I am or how do I get back home... I remember the first time I got lost in a nearby forest with my little sister and I know today's trip will not be the last.

I just have to hope that the kindness in peoples heart to help a stranger or a damsel in distress will remain there always so that I will forever and ever find my way back home.

Through this text I want to send angels to all the good people who helped me today and to the farmers in this world.

Good night and may the guardian angel ever walk aside you.

Love Salla.
