Who's working on Monday?

[Secret Agronomist]

Might take a 50 mile road trip on tractor. Roads should be quiet?

It'll be the day to do a long drive right enough.

 

[Kevtherev]

i wish she had past my farm ! i'd have took my cap off lowered my head and shed a tear!

Me too . The only visual thing I could think of if HMQ passed my road would be like the Scottish farmers and bow my head and lower the tractor loader as she passed like the dockers did for Churchill. I’d have liked Princess Anne to have seen it on her long journey South too, she’s been steadfast and so devoted to her Mother and supportive of the new King

 

[JP1]

Hope the TV companies are ready for Surge of viewers?
Will systems cope???

There’s over 300 temporary camera platforms on the route . I doubt I’ll see another occasion like it ever

Guys here want to work. Prince Andrew seems to be getting a reprieve. It’s all weird.

Wondered about the latter; could it be King Charles has to give way for his Mother and to allow Harry to wear Military uniform ?

added pleasure, if you are successful, you might get a free holiday, at his majesty's pleasure.
Know of a few shoots that have planks of wood, around their pens, with nails sticking up in them, seems to work to. But that pic, looks ace.

probably.
one of those awkward times, when you have to treat people equally.
Likely to be the last time Andrew will be seen, in uniform, or person, while his actions, should have meant him serving life, in a USA prison, he did actually fight in the Falklands war.

And Harry may well see a comeback, when Megan decides she has had enough of him, and he did tours of duty, in Afghanistan.

And, as a mark of respect to the Queen, if her wishes were so, it was the right thing to do.
I wouldn't like to have been the person who had to decide.

I see foodbanks are closing tomorrow.

People will go hungry so people can have a day off.

 

[Bobthebuilder]

Got pre ems to go on so will depend on the weather

 

[Frank-the-Wool]

TB testing all day. Vets have too many to do so can't stop at this time. Been booked for 3 months.
Need to get cattle sold and moved.

same as our vets, testing every 6 months, has increased their workload, they need to keep going, to cope. Surprised me though.

 

[livestock 1]

Yes we are on sorting lambs tomorrow

 

[snarling bee]

I am surprised that anybody arable farming has any excuse to work. As easy season as you would ever get. Too early to drill, too dry here as well, cultivations about done. Hedges will wait.

 

[Estate fencing.]

Quite often on these sort of occasions you will find people working who are usually found asleep in the house during the day.

Same as any event that Mrs N will watch. Cricket / grand prix or football etc I'll save myself the trouble of falling asleep in front of it and watch the highlight programme later.

Light duties for me,
we all know in this game , after greT losses, the animals need to be fed, feed need to be gathered, land worked all to a schedule to keep things going, but we'd make time for funeral for our nearest and dearest, and this is what she is to most, strange to say about someone most have never crossed paths with but something is definitely different personally, since news broke of her death.
I have tried my best to watch every step of her final journeys and ceremonies live as it happens, then after that as soon as I can .
One small positive for the over populated media coverage culture we have, we are able where we've never been able before to watch such an event in so much length and detail.

 

[upnortheast]

Bottling milk first thing here, only a few deliveries to to so will probably watch the funeral then go out 12 ish with the van
Problem we have is Tuesday, effectivly doing 2 days delivery in one so helluvaday

 

[betweenthelines]

TBH anyone who can't reduce their work to a minimum for a once-in-a-lifetime event must be so disorganised it's a wonder they can cope day-to-day.

What did you do on your wedding day or when you have been ill?

Or shock horror for some it’s not a big deal, yes she will be greatly missed by allot of people but me parking my arse infront of the tv all day is going to achieve absolutely naff all when I can come home and watch it on record, so it’s got nothing to do with being disorganised Thank you very much

It will be a day to reflect on our Majesty who was also local to us & a true country lady.Was seen on occasion out and about in her RangeRover and her Labradors.

I have stocked up the cellar and will not stray far from the residence tomorrow.
