will their mothers take them back after a couple of days separation?
I think he means a lambed ewe and her twins will be penned together, separately from the flock. Like a traditional English lambing shed.

Was there for a wedding.Born there or just lived there?
Eh , no
Think there might be some errors on that food quarter circle.. eh
Yeah rightWeren't you tempted to stay? EVERYONE just LOVES London don't you know
We are not to far from Dublin on the east coast and its starting to look ugly . The farm is down a back road and a dual carraigeway and a motorway are on the perimiter to the north and west . Moving machinery to outlying fields is becoming harder, and walking the cows across the road is a nightmare as the road is used as a rat run by motorists. All the cons of the spread of the urban sprawl but so f a r none of the pros .Gritted teeth mate, gritted teeth.
There are actually folk near here who farm IN London, there are fields inside the urban envelope. I wonder if their tractors Incur the congestion/emissions charge?
Being here is a double edged sword. The roads are manic, most prices are crazy (Bedsit flats starting around £250k etc), waste is crazy and you are EXPECTED to get anything out of the ordinary by venturing into Londinium
On the other hand there is SO much money in the local economy that we are awash with income options unlike so many rural folk. 99.9% of locals would rather pay someone else £30+ per hour than get their hands dirty so practical folk need never be poor. It's common for locals to pay £150+ call-out charge then £80 per hour for someone just to rod a sewer rather than have to face their own shite.
There is still quite a lot of poverty though and it must be a horrible experience when there is so much affluence waved under your nose. 2 local towns have busy night shelters for the homeless and there are some large "sink estates".
It's a mad world and we're ready to leave as soon as the finances click in.
Perhaps we should start an "Urban fringe farmers self-help group"We are not to far from Dublin on the east coast and its starting to look ugly .

Yours? or Megan'sWas there for a wedding.
But there like that to go round things aren't they? Much of Australia and the US is relatively featureless? So easy to lay out in a grid system when its flat and no obstacles.Sounds like a pretty accurate description of our roads to me.....
Neither.Yours? or Megan's
I love the straight Canadian roads and grid system........But there like that to go round things aren't they? Much of Australia and the US is relatively featureless? So easy to lay out in a grid system when its flat and no obstacles.
Most smaller UK roads are just upgraded cart tracks according to the historians. That's why dad's road keeps subsiding. It has no real base, just got rolled tar on an old track so not up to carrying 44 ton articulated trucks. It wanders across the landscape just like the original ponies did with their (often drunk) pilotsBut there like that to go round things aren't they?

Did the romans not build straight roads in this country?Most smaller UK roads are just upgraded cart tracks according to the historians. That's why dad's road keeps subsiding.

I think the A1 was originally a Roman road.Did the romans not build straight roads in this country?
I've never driven on them.
Pretty sure A5 past here is the old Roman road from London to Ireland and that is far from straightDid the romans not build straight roads in this country?

A few, yes. Ermine Street (the A10), Watling Street (the A5), the A1 in places etc. They're not straight any more though due to all the town bypasses.Did the romans not build straight roads in this country?
I've never driven on them.
Drovers route from Ireland to London (walking cattle to London to feed people during the industrial revolution) parts of it are Roman though. don't think the Romans went to Ireland did they?Pretty sure A5 past here is the old Roman road from London to Ireland and that is far from straight

How does all hell break loose at a bridge?I love the straight Canadian roads and grid system........
Then all hell breaks loose when you get a river and a bridge crossing
Admittedly the roads on Vancouver Island are normal.
