Yesterday I mowed some more grass, but then got side tracked as the boss wanted to pick blackberries,

she'd got a hat full by time I finished mowing, and another hat full while I was raking.
After milking we messed up the kitchen and made 3 jars of fruity, sweet stuff with bits in 😂 all good education for the boss though 👍

Silage all baled up today will lug them tomorrow, feeling very autumnal tonight.

4 times this week, but looks like the here at night, been nowt while ive been up there, came around midnight going off cctv and the reg if false plod cant trace it
If they have that 4x4 that went over they could check glass. I seen 2 4x4 on the back 2 7.5 tippers on the motorway earlier looked pretty dodgy

A total cow weekend ; showing and introducing the herds to some lovely folks from the village yesterday ,
potential local new #beltedgallowaycattle #riggitgalloway breeders and the highlight of my weekend was welcoming three TwoMills bred heifers back for bulling. Seeing my friend Richard up and so much more mobile he was after a horrific farm accident and how much care (and finish) Nicola has put in to Matilda, Mo and Freddie’s show heifer Mary was just great. More photos to follow #whitegalloway #gonative

Its not a green lane, never as been, just part of the pennine bridleway
Can you suggest to plod that you have poachers due to the persistent nature of their actions?
I was followed home by the local police helicopter last year, which rapidly led to 2 unmarked BMW X5’s hurtling down the drive, all at 11.30 at night. When I asked why they were putting in such a big response to alleged poaching, they said that poaching can often lead to firearms offences.
 
Stock photo but all Premier Inn rooms are the same!
Finally took the plunge and left the relative safety of West Wales and travelled down last night to Kent. First visit to the office since January today - well actually I will be visiting our new office for the first time! Need the SatNav to find my own office!
Three days in Kent on looking at new projects then back home before Lockdown II!!!

Yeh firearms offence by the farmer/landowner shooting the baasstads
Worked in a lot off woods with diggers in lancashire/yorkshire and the boarders and was amazed how many and what times the 4x4s drive the penine way
They some times walk over half hour plus to as us to pull emout
So dare say they think they got the right to drive it all if you part isnt for 4x4s
But i thought a bridal way is very grey area as not to include 4x4s
But a 1-2 ton truck ist a horse and cannot get threw a 3ft gate

As suggested the pen is mightier than the sword (Sometimes) start at the top and complain complaints are like water they run downhill better you will get a response, you shouldn’t have to go to these lengths to get response but sometimes it’s the only way.

Link micro trail camera will send pictures back to your phone within minuets of capturing an image darker nights now you could position after dark and retrieve in the morning if you are worded about being stolen cost about £199 including vat. You do need a signal phone signal for it to work that’s the only down side.

Mine has worked well for dealing with vermin

Due to be banned from work at present by the wife and the NHS my inputs here will be much lower than normal for the next month or two.

However I can fly my drone from the office to see how the chaps are getting on, they think that this is amusing I am pleased to say.

Some of the cows and calves getting a bale of hay - note, how much this frightens all of them.
