Doomed if try here in Vale of Glamorgan as Council sold them all off years ago for nothing to sitting tenants???

Good point ...... any council farms coming up on the island tend to go to either existing tenants (esp if bare land) or to the sons (rarely daughters) of said tenants.

Quite often surprised by the scale of Council farms on the Island. Some decent sized units now of well over 100 acres.

Mind you, I am bitter & twisted as we lost 70ac off the home farm at the end of WWI ......... and the farmstead was recently sold off, developed into three properties and then grief started.

Glad to hear that Ffermio can be watched by people outside Wales, it is usually quite a good programme.
Sometimes when the programme comes from South Wales we in the North could also do with subtitles!
It's the same for us southies when we meet you northies. [emoji6]

Anyone east of Brittania Bridge is “rhyfedd” imo

Christ above and give me strength! I honestly cannot believe the blatant hypocrisy!
You call US strange Baldrick!!

And this comment being from a member of a society (and I use the term loosely) which boasts a leisure centre that consists of twenty five ewes being forcibly restrained (albeit released and replaced at regular intervals of twelve hours) by a row of galvanised headlocks. One which condones, and indeed actively promotes in breeding at all possible levels: and one who’s idea of a refined and cultural evening is to consume ten pints of lager and a Vindaloo in Menai Bridge, to be subsequently and rather unceremoniously thrown up from the luxurious confines of a donkey drawn trap on the winding way back to arboreal homes: and all this being but a mere preamble to the ultimate grand finale of this urbane little soirée; namely the enthusiastic dancing and rhythmic cavorting around a camp fire with someone’s head on a pole.
