I have arthritis in my spine and sometimes I get tingling down my legs and a numb patch , usually my right thigh, I put it down to a knackered back. My feet are always cold so I haven't noticed any difference there - that's what husbands and hot water bottles are for! [emoji2]

Yes it is true, there's are lots of horses poisoned every year by sycamore. However, it doesn't seem to affect every horse, I know quite a few that don't seem to have a problem with it. I have sycamore trees in the fields that I have for summer grazing and I usually put an electric fence round...

Think I might have already put this elsewhere on here so apologies for repeating myself. I went away for a few days and having time and inclination I logged onto Facebook. One post was from a local farmer (Angus, fruit area) saying that the crop was ripening faster than anticipated and would be...

"Bute"" is said to be a risk to human health...

Can I suggest that you also write a step by step instruction for operating your parlours? I'm a relief milker, it's fine covering for farmers who are taking a break, they can show you what's what with the set up before they go. The problems start when there's been something unforeseen, like the...

@Steevo, my old iPad (5year old) stopped charging last week. I went online to see if there was any reason other than a defunct battery and someone said try restarting it. I didn't have to as it was totally flat but a day later I tried charging it again and it did charge. I haven't had any...
