Cost of living: One in five eating food beyond use-by date
A similar number have eaten smaller portions owing to rising prices, with more struggling to stay warm.

Wonder what the qualifications are needed to be a BBC cost of living correspondent ?

The 'lambing in May plan' that went very wrong when I left the tups with the milking ewes appears to have come to a close. Just on 70 lambs tagged so far.

You aren't alone I planned to put the rams out to lamb April 1st, one had other ideas I am expecting some about the 1-15th March the sod would push each post until it found one it could break at which point it would ram them until the snapped it leaned over and then throw itself at the wire to do a kind on roly-poly over it.
I think it views fences as one of life's little hurdles.

Gave the old tractor it's fifteen minutes ticking over to keep it warm. Patted the old girl on the track and told her it would soon be time to get some farming done.

The simple things in life make me smile, I was dreading bedding Dow the sheep shed ,five 30x20’ pens and a pen of cows , fortunately the straw shook out nicely, the sound of feet rustling on clean bedding must be one of the best !
Got home aching and mrs put a big plateful of mash, gammon and cauliflower cheese in front of me .

A neighbour is lambing her wee flock in my shed and she's buying straw from another neighbour. Nice neighbour left straw at our road end and with it being dark I volunteered to take Dirty Mary my poorly lit Zetor tractor to collect the round bales. Halfway down my drive one of the bales exploded strewing straw all over the drive. As first neighbour and I were finishing collecting the straw in a trailer before last nights high winds blew it throughout the shire we found a piece of paper resting on top of the heap of straw. After laughing about how things always go shitshaped when your tea is on the table my neighbour pulled the piece of paper from her pocket only to find it was the netwrap manufacturers guide to layers of wrap needed. We suspect it blew away before our straw supplying neighbour had a chance to read it because there sure as heck weren't 4.5 layers of net on the 5' bale of densely packed straw.

For me it is the silence after they have been fed and my ears are no longer ringing

That as well ! Our inbye ewes become like tame pets when housed, the same cheeky fekers eating straw from my hand as I am trying to shake it out

Out in the field they never want to know and there will be that one that insists on going the wrong way when you're looking to have them shorn etc yet as soon as they come in they're the one climbing up the gate to stick their heads in the bucket

Yes we have had them jump out of the mothering pen when they hear the rattling of feed in a bucket !

Can I chip in with a thank you to the growers, pickers, packers and distributors of those little bunches of 10 British daffs sold in M&S? There's a vase of them by the window, here. Some people's impulse purchases really do make a bod smile.

@primmiemoo my neighbour whose straw tried to blow away brought 3 bunches for my wife and they are gloriously filling a vase on the kitchen table.
You are bang on right, those little actions are priceless.
