He used to be able to rock the boat now and again.
Now he's the skipper.

It'll only be for 5-10 years then we'll have the next one.

He is a Royal and, at just short of 74, could have another 20 years.

Id hate to think i get to 74 and have to start working harder than before .

Very true but he may unload some duties to the Prince of Wales.

I met Prince Charles - sorry King Charles - a few years ago an agricultural themed visit to Highgrove, with a group of others. He said then that he was the only one (of the establishment) speaking out for agriculture and the countryside and we all agreed. He has been passionate about his beliefs, but he knows that now he is King he will have to remain silent. Let's hope that Prince William will take on his interest in the countryside and hopefully his children too.

I was impressed with Charles; he was also very slim and apparently keeps his figure by not eating at lunch time.

All the Royal family have had good health, if you think about it. It must be all that organic produce they have been eating.

I wonder…..

Would you prefer as a landlord the Duchy or National Trust?

no contest

 

[egbert]

and what id don't know why is it a role 'of Cornwall' when most of the Duchy ground is in Devon
someone could enlighten me perhaps

The Duchy has land and property all over the place, from the Scillies to London.
There's a lot of farmland in Cornwall, obviously, as well as bits in Hereford, Somerset and Kent, et al.

The majority of the Devon estate is on Dartmoor, which they acquired centuries ago.
And while the acreage is big, (thinking it's 70k?) the productive capacity isn't... er... quite as good.

Do you not think genetics and the best health care may have an influence?

As a youngster he milked cows near Chagford, in January, the name of the farm escapes me right now but it was just down below Fernworthy.

He was sent there to learn about farming in a hard environment.

he stayed there for a month. My Grandfather and Great Uncle were the vets in Moreton and Chagford and were tasked with teaching him husbandry.

Remember that in an old copy of farmers weekly.
Wish I was could find it somewhere!!!

 

[czechmate]

Just out of interest, what are you doing with the other 15 ahead of Anne in the line of succession?

Kind hearts and Coronets

Is the king
Involved in that world
Economic forum ?

The Prince of Wales has been a part of the real world one. In the fictional one, he was one controllers of flat earth. Inna fetching lizard suit, and everything... but will be putting it aside for now.

Yardworthy Farm, with Fred Hutchings and his son Wilf.

Fred reckoned they took him up on the newtake to show him how to build wall.....a job Fred admitted they mightn't normally have done in Feb.
The boss was complaining about how cold it was for years.

Thank you, Ill try and remember for the future. Dad passed a few years back but Mum is still around though unaware due to dementia. Mum’s side of family are from Moreton or surroundings and she was fiercely proud of her family’s connection to the the Moor.

Great advocate for family farming and rural way of life......pity he doesn’t get to select the Defra team nowadays. I blame Oliver Cromwell....anyone know what happened with Charles I and Charles II. Let’s hope Charles III fares better.

I do know a farmer who had a royal visit from Charles. When Charles's men arrived a few day's before to discuss the visit they asked about why he had went organic? He told them it was because of the money they were throwing at them to transition. He was asked not to give that answer to Charles!

 

[Daddy Pig]

Was the new village of Poundbury built on duchy land?

yes, they also own the farm with the big AD plant behind McDonalds.

I think that our new King likes a bit of hedge laying. To do that we wears an old coat that has a bit of "Triggers Broom" about it in that it has been repaired and patched so many times.

Indeed he does, patron of the hedgelaying society and holds a hedging match for a select few.
