With the price of fertilizer going the way it is, I could do with a whole lot more of this sort of job! Paid to take the fertilizer away and bring it home.(y)(y)

Bottom right, the Fun Boy 2, top right, Posie and the current bull's mother awaiting an AI opportunity. They can go out but Posie (17) doesn't 'do' weather. (Note to self: continue development of bespoke watering system.)
