I was introduced to the delights of Hendersons Relish* a few years ago, and it is not my liquid condiment of choice!!

For some ungodly reason I literally retch at anything such as parsnip, pumpkin, sweet potatoes etc

May I present my latest f*ck up for your consideration.
With lambing basically finished and the farm finally starting to dry out and look presentable again, I naively left the premises for the first time in weeks for a pint or two to celebrate. Once home, I decided to just look in on the shed. My mistake was to keep my good clothes on, and thus tempt the gods of the giant f*ck up. A drinker valve had failed and was busily flooding the shed. As a nice little aside, whilst fixing that the lambs knocked over my box of valves and seals into the sodden sh1t, which was gratefully received. Once that was sorted I notice that the water pressure was bad. I subsequently discovered that some malfunction has allowed the well pump to run itself dry and is now a crispy black mess.
It ended up being an expensive couple of pints. The question of how expensive will have to wait until the investigation tomorrow.

I settled on the cheese on toast with beans and two fried eggs
A hot bath with two beers and an episode of band of brothers on my old Amazon tablet
Big day tomorrow, knitting fog and trailering to away ground

It always amazes me how fascinated the general public are with things that we all really take for granted (let's face it, most of us are sick of the sight of ewes lambing by this stage of the proceedings
).Days like you've just had do no end of good.
Whenever we've been involved with anything like that and many of them come and say thank you, I always remind them that the best way they can thank us is to put a few lamb chops or some mince in their shopping basket next week, 'cos if nobody eats 'em, sooner or later they'll ne no lambs for them to come and look at

Around 1000 visitors today. I always think it’s a good opportunity to see what we do through the eyes of others. It’s easy to underestimate how much support there is for us from the general public.It always amazes me how fascinated the general public are with things that we all really take for granted (let's face it, most of us are sick of the sight of ewes lambing by this stage of the proceedings

Far Dave the wonder dog...
You just need to teach him how to drive that quad and he could go off and do stuff while you stayed in bed.

Houston., we have a problem, fat Dave’s just gone lame on a back leg 
The other two won’t ride the quad or hold a ewe anywhere near as good as him

DON'T be tempted to give him any metacam - the sheep stuff is definitely not for dogs. (apologies, you probably already knew that but better safe than sorry)Houston., we have a problem, fat Dave’s just gone lame on a back leg
