New Zealand - Land of milk and honey? Holwellcourtfarm's tour 2017

[Kiwi Pete]

Off to the UK for a couple of weeks tomorrow, hope we have some sunshine while we are there, had enough of the rain and it is cold only 8c this morning.

I think that was our high temp yesterday.
It was that wet misty rubbish that we needed in December!

Hope you have a smooth flight, and a great trip.
Bring the longer days back with you

If you have a spare day (or just lunchtime) must meet up for a good old Ploughman's

Safe travels xx

We had a couple of lovely Dutch folk who travelled the world inseminating dairy cows, amazing the conversation and experiences.
Quite a circuit they had going...

I still occasionally get an email from them when they are in NZ, but haven't caught up with them since 2010.

All the best for your evening @holwellcourtfarm - no trade secrets

that is interesting considering the state of farming today.

 

[awkward]

not too sure of UK but some nice weather for my part of the world for next week or two

If you wanted to buy a dairy farm in Southland it wouldn't take long to find one that would be for sale...
It really matters what land you want, and where, the cheap land is gone of course but there seems to be activity in spite of that.
Good returns help with that, if it wasn't for strongwool NZ ag would just about have all its ducks in a row, at the moment

We could do that. Only there for a couple of weeks though, will be in the Cotswolds for 2 nights and Bath for one then back up North. Send me a txt and we could possibly organise something.

Oh, bugger that
Wintertime is when you want that carry-on!
Hows your rainfall coming along, much yet?

 

[stewart]

Yes, It's great too catch up with family and friends. Although a couple of weeks in the land of doom makes us realise why we moved.

Best thing to come out of the UK.


A380 departing Heathrow.
