What happens when the “residents” die? Are they buried, burnt, or does the knacker van just pop in when it’s dark?Fecking expats moving to rural France and setting up an animal sanctuary to rescue "from the abuse of livestock farming" and "Every donation, no matter how big or small, helps us to meet the daily running costs of the Big V Sanctuary.

Some dark part of me hopes they have a barbecue. They are all over social media many posts a day, everywhere they can think off, so I come across them almost every time I look at any local Facebook group etc. I have left comments but I have just blocked them now every way I can think off, I can't think of much that has upset as much as their downer cow being used as a literal cash cow.

Wonder how long she would survive if they had to get a proper job to “pay” for the treatment

Horns growing like that would be deemed poor welfare if it was on our farms.
Remember being hauled over the coals after one was presented for slaughter touching the skin.

The fact it’s somehow endorsed by Tractor and Machinery Magazine is even worse.

Is there a strongly worded email in the pipeline?

What’s been grinding my gears is songs that have sounds like machinery breaking on them.
For example, today, listening to a concert by Finlands finest symphonic metal group, at the end of one song they must’ve let off some banger pyrotechnics, cue 5 minutes outside looking for the pipe/tyre that had burst.
Same with repetitive squeaky noises which I find Beyoncé particularly guilty of, and one unknown artist today had a sporadic whooshing noise which again sounded like a pipe giving up.

There aught to be!Is there a strongly worded email in the pipeline?
Any self-respecting tractor toucher would know intuitively that a JCB Fastrac does not have a shorter wheelbase than an old John Deere D.
The errors are criminal!

+2 Yep, Creaking & whining sounds like lack of lubrication, rumblings like knackered wheel bearings - modern music is shoite

Holidays. I can’t abide them. Boredom, pointless effort and travel on congested roads, food and accommodation and company worse than anything at home. Just why? What’s wrong with me.
Then there’s the pressure from the Mrs to do something or get away because it’s bank holiday. What’s wrong with just being here enjoying the place and moment? What are we supposed to be getting away from?

It really is splendid today just pottering. Nice weather, most farming jobs caught up. No urgent spraying to do. Just sit in the garden and hear birds whistling and bees buzzing and a sheep calling its lambs. You can almost see things growing. After months of rough weather, that’s more like it.
Glad you're enjoying your garden in good weather, I'm envious, been out in the rain all day here, for a change
