Where are we up to?
Just over a week ago I set out what we hoped to do over the next week. Has it happened?
Thursday - Westmorland Show - a resounding success
Thursday evening - oats in the pit
Friday morning - silage grass mown
Friday afternoon - herd judged for regional competition
Saturday - James judged at North Midlands Calf Show
Saturday - Henry rowed up all day
Sunday - silage grass all in the 2nd pit
Monday - bed finally arrives!
Monday - James leaves for Dairy event with Pansy, Athena and a calf we're giving as a raffle prize.
Tuesday - straw arrives and is unloaded onto top of silage
Wednesday - judging day at The Dairy Event. We were very pleased to come second in the heifer class (Athena 3), in strong class behind the heifer that won at the Royal Show.
Thursday - I'm back at work, and it's as if I've never been away (no magic elf to do my work while I'm off)
Thursday night - James due back.
Hopefully there's now time to draw breath!

Hi Kathleen & Robert
Well done with all the prizes you're gathering. And we note the milk is still flowing.
Here in France dairy farmers are pouring the stuff onto their fields rather than sell at below-cost prices (well below by the figures they are claiming). We haven't read of, and you haven't mentioned anything about similar problems in the UK. Is the world all milk and - well if not honey, then show prizes?
