One big holiday ????

Went for years without a holiday but now try to get at least a couple of weekends or a few nights away every year. Life's too short and all that....

You might find that there is a difference between the livestock and arable sectors
No point being tied to your farm saving every animal if you yourself drop dead through working too much.

Some farmers never talk to or interact with non farmers from one year to the next. IMO it's important to see how the other half live (and think) occasionally.

Some people do more on holidays than they do day to day ???

I know a New Zealand farmer who took notes out to Sardinia when he and his wife went to visit my mother, as it was the only time he had a clear enough head to write a letter to the government about his hill block.
Personally, it feels like I'm so disorganised here... that I probably do do more productive work on holiday

We get a lot of last minute bookings especially off peak. We don't tend to do short breaks in peak season as a weekend booking can sometimes cost us a week's (or two) booking .Problem is with us it’s last minute .com usually,decide midweek to get away for the weekend then frantically try to find accommodation.
We have a little gem of a place in the middle of Anglesey which is our usual go to.

Go abroad maybe once every 2-3 years, but as said on here a night or 2 away from the farm a few times a year can do the world of good.

Send em down Devil's Bridge !!!!@GTB ,it had crossed my mind to hire a barn conversion for the weekend for our friends and children to sample the delights of the Aberystwyth area.....for a TFF discount....
When i had cows didnt get away for ten years. Now we go abroad twice most years and have a family holiday flat in bournemouth we go fairly often to, whats the point of building a business if you dont enjoy the rewards, perhaps some farmers are just too miserable to enjoy life
