We get the hoards coming out of Manchester at the weekends. There’s a big national trust property next door too I’d and one of the main arterial footpaths runs straight up our lane. The amount of people shouting abuse at us, taking photos, posting on Facebook then starting a vigilante witch hunt is unreal. It’s frankly disheartening and disgraceful behaviour.
My brother is very shy, too the point of if you start too shout he backs away. He struggles too talk too strangers at all. But he’s good with his livestock work and handy in a machine. He was in the back field bringing in a single that was a bit weak for an overnight inside. (Perfectly sensible idea) next thing some woman has jumped the field gate from the lane and is berating him right in his face about stealing a sheep’s newborn babies and what an abusive murdering c@nt he is. Now I’m the exact opposite too him, I enjoy having a REAL flare off at someone. I legged it up the field, pulled him away and sent him on with the sheep then really set into this gormless cow. We were shouting at one another for a good couple of minutes before she tried too take the high ground and walk away while proclaiming too all the bystanders who had accumulated on the path what she thought of me and my workman. I started too laugh, that soon brought her back. 2 more minutes of incessant shouting and I pointed out that the whole thing was on video from the yard CCTV and I would be handing it over to the police for harassment and trespass charges. She abruptly shut up and went back too the footpath where she was laid into by 2 families with small children for using such terrible language in the countryside against someone who is only doing their job.
I felt great for days after that one!
What a world we live in that you can be called such things on your own property. Imagine if you walked into there garden and started to film there 18 year old daughter sunbathing, then called them a pansy and told them to cut the lawn it looks scruffy! And yes her lawn did need a good trim.We get the hoards coming out of Manchester at the weekends.

No, grass is not growing, you must be a towny with no knowledge or observation skills, unless it's under your own nose
...
It's the driest and coldest April here since records began.
Must be the likes of you spouting hot air and farts for no good use creating that climate change,
He must be a farmerlesser.
After he called people shepherdlessers I have now come to think of myself as that. I was going to put on the census the other week but got told “not to be so stupid”

100% that is a tag I wear with pride. My sheep work for me, not the other way around.

One of the (townie) neighbours here was telling me how their then 18 yr old daughter was sunbathing in the garden one day and the previous tenant spent a good hour slowly driving up and down in his tractor on the other side of the hedge.
Thankfully they still saw the funny side, several years later, but I made a mental note to be more discreet if I were to observe such a thing...

A farmer who can't cope with a late Spring is in need of some sound advice on how to prepare for an event that has affected farmers since time immemorial. Many if us are running short of fodder, but most livestock farms will have one or more snack feeders - and a local Compounder who is more than willing to supply something with which to fill it. And there are still turnips and fodder beet to buy.
The problem of a late Spring is as nothing compared to other far more difficult problems - financial worries, family issues, depression, and serious disease outbreaks.
And I've said before, grassland which is in good heart from previous years of being well managed will always show growth in a late spring, when poverty-stricken swards of buttercups and daisies remain dormant.
