Paula Hynes: A week of 'new firsts' on Raised by the Village

I found Karl got frustrated when he couldn't do something right away, but as I explained, nobody can do everything on their first attempt, writes Paula Hynes, reflecting on her week of filming for RTÉ's Raised by the Village.
Paula Hynes: A week of 'new firsts' on Raised by the Village

We were late finishing the Sunday evening when our episode of RTÉ's Raised By The Village was aired, so unfortunately, we didn't see it till later that night, but as I was milking, my phone went into overdrive with notifications, so I knew it was getting a good reaction. 

Unfortunately, Becky was away when we were filming as she had been offered a great opportunity to show some heifers for another farm. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience with Karl, it was so worthwhile and rewarding. You only got to see a fraction of what we got up to for the week. He was always very open and willing to try new things. I did my best to explain to him that he needed to embrace the experience and enjoy the fact that he was getting the opportunity to try all these “new firsts".
