has our neighbour unintentionally done us favour?

[startinghandle]

I have posted here a number of times that our next door neighbour reported me and my brother to the landlord for understocking and not keeping fence good and he now has what were our 4 bottom fields and a guy from20 miles away has the rest.... if we had increased our stock and with weather conditions this year we would be making a substantial loss because of the extra sheep feed we would needed and more snow today so the feed merchant would still be taking our money so has our neighbour done us a favour in a funny sort of way but we still have to get out of the house
on a slightly different note I have a cousin that I don't get on with and she has a job and her husband has a job and they have a small holding and her father who I do get on with was telling me that they put in long hours with their jobs and running the small holding and I said they must be making a fortune just for his reply and his reply was no .. they are lucky to make anything from the farm it is only a labour of love!!!

I can't remember anyone ever telling me different.

Were you still up at 3.38am when you wrote this? Maybe you had a drink earlier? Well you should have gone to bed 10 minutes ago.

I think sometimes a blessing can be disguised in the form of a curse, figuratively speaking... Anyone in the farming/smallholding sector doesn't make a big living, or in fact any sort of living at all, from what they do. Hence why a lot have a business or a job on the side to help fund what they do. They/we do it because we enjoy doing what we are doing. We understand there's not a lot of any money in it tbh, it's a way of life we desire

Be careful. He's obviously a solicitor. You can tell that by the punctuation.

thanks for replies
the reason why I was still up at 3.38 this morning, I am putting together my second book.. it is all about a magic tractor!! my first novel is a wartime story and that took a lot of doing
I will also be writing until the early hours tomorrow morning

The magic tractor used to be my favourite joke (when I was six).

It turned into a field!
