What is you hobby?

[gerr]

My small scale farming is to pacify my instinct as I was born a farmer but have diversified into tourism to earn a living. I keep about 30 pure Texel ewes which are a pleasure. Last autumn I bought a few smart, well grown mule ewe lambs - all good so far.

What a stupid idea it was to tup them. Tupped 60, 40 held, 4 smothered at feeder, 3 died of Lepto, 4 cast, 3 lambed ok but not a saucer of milk between them. B!oody nightmare. And this is my hobby! What's yours?

Certainly not sheep , that's the job!!

Singing for me. Something to do with other people that gets you off the farm and thinking about something else for a change.

When I was still living in Wales it was wildfowling. Was a 5 minute walk from estuary (cutting across railway track wuth sack of decoys & 12bore was fun!) Mam & dad's house is called Swn Yr Adar which means sound of the birds. As a kid laying in bed could always hear oystercatcher, curlew, wigeon. Heaven.

Edit: and now I live in a land locked county with no mountains! Women eh??!!

No thrill like sparking up a good few acres..... wondering whether the fire breaks you've just cut will hold hearing it roar and knowing there well be a nice bit of grass in its place next year &the priceless satisfaction of knowing you've royally pee'd off some eco nuts

Technically that's work though I spose
As is my 2nd fave pastime of rabbit &crow shootin'



That only leaves fishing and eating cake!
