. . . but it's three years today since I started these public ramblings.
Some things have changed - one more grandson, one less son-in-law - but farming changes slowly. We are now fully organic and have invested in a couple of new buildings, but we're still a family farm milking Dairy Shorthorns.
Mole Watch (an idea for the BBC?) - the total so far is 17.
The grass has at last started to green up after the ravages of winter. Despite what some people think, farmers are essentially optimistic, and we're hopeful growth will soon catch up with other years. The wintering sheep have gone back their summer fells so there's nothing to nibble the young shoots. It's "Spring Forward" tonight - so we can get even more work done in daylight hours. No lurking inside just because it's dark.
