Spoke too soon...motorcyclist came came round a blind bend doing about 70 (on a 40 limit road)...smashed into my livestock trailer as I was turning into my field yesterday afternoon. Thought he was dead in the gutter. Smashed off both wheels on one side....so two new axles needed. Box is ok.
So bang goes modest profit for this year. Still trying to be positive though!!!

Seven days of lovely warm sunny weather - Real Indian Summer, better than what was alleged to have been summer from June to August. Sitting by the pool every afternoon with the temperature in the sun well in its twenties.
Living in France is also a real bonus: Plenty of space, all the illegals are leaving for UK. We haven't got Boris, and might even get rid of Macron next year. Still a good supply of reasonably priced wine. My garden is going great guns and still picking beans and a few tomatoes left in the tunnel. Had a count up at the weekend and could have eaten 15 different vegetables from the garden with Sunday lunch. Hens are still laying well.
Even found a tasty tender piece of French pork at the weekend - a bit of a rarity which would be better if only they could be persuaded to leave the skin on so we can have crackling.
All in all life ain't bad.
And the big bonus - at last we can travel again so flights to Cape Town booked for January: 5 weeks of sun and lovely wine. What more could an old man want?

Just seen this on prices thread. Looks good to me
50% less New Zealand lamb imports expected for British Christmas trade
The number of shipments of sheepmeat is expected to fall from the usual six or seven shipments to just three, leading to possible supply shortages

Are you accusing me of having a problem?
I haven't, I could stop any time I like..
You’ll need to kick your habit if you wish to avail yourself of @Clive ‘s ELMS scheme.
I DD’ed two fields this afternoon, which were in as perfect a condition for it as I can ever remember. I moved into the third field, had a go, then went back and got a cultivator to do the job properly. Not long in from releasing some Carbon from burning the organic matter, but the crop drilled tomorrow will be much happier for it.

There’s a cake price tracker thread too, but it’s far less interesting!
