    In efficient utilities/businesses.

    Several years ago the BT internet backbone went down and tripped out our exchange. Took them 8 days to send someone down from Sheffield to Devon to press the reset button. Why did it take so long? They had to train him first. Apparently H&S meant they couldn’t send in an ordinary engineer...

    Starlink

    Had the conversation with BT about options after copper is turned off. Currently paying £32/month for Broadband and phone line for business. Best they can offer going forward is £85 for the same. And here is the fibre option 😂 Think it’s time to say goodbye to BT. Have had Starlink for...

    Sencrop weather stations

    Getting tight

    Having to feed everything here and water to all stock as springs and streams are dry now. Only second time in memory. If it doesn’t rain significantly by end of August our average annual rainfall will be 50% of normal.
