Nice Evening with joe and his Folks at the Farm Workers BBQ.The best Burgers, Sausages and bread you can eat.Loved Mr Last's toast to all within the Farm "without all of you we are nothing" .Not many Boss's respect what their employees do for them.

I remember my days on the farm. 5am, clear the byre, 5-15am clean out the byre. I wasn't allowed to touch the milking machine, that was the Boss's job. 6am into the house for a wash then breakfast. 8am (in the summer) down to the bottom field to cut hay etc. 12 noon lunch, 2pm up the hill to check on the sheep and also to cut and stack the peat. 7pm dinner. 8pm (in the summer) bring the cattle in for evening milking. 10pm bed zzzzzzzz
I was never on the farm in the winter months so I don't know the timetable for that season. What I do remember was some of the best days I ever had.

What I do remember was some of the best days I ever had. Hmm that sounds like tough going to me! I'll stick with the railways I think! We do have to work some odd hours sometimes but our working week is 35 hours at least in theory! Sometimes we do work long hours when things go "tits up" (technical term!) but then we get paid overtime. That aside though i do get a lot of satisfaction doing my bit to keep the country running, much the same as farming really I would think! Important to do something you enjoy for a living as you have to do it for a long time! Hopefully we get a bit of decent weather over the Bank Hols, Mrs Jenksy is off out with a chum or 2 on Sunday so I might have a Symply check over and clean day followed by the obligatory spin afterwards just to make sure I haven't washed anything important away! |

Winter is all about Christmas on the Farm and that starts around end of August/September.We have a Farm Shop and everything from then on is geared towards Festive times.The Turkeys come in and have to be reared and are free range and the puddings, cakes etc all need to be prepared and matured.Cheeses etc start to be made and matured along side those over a 12 month period. Other meat etc. I love the Winter on the Farm. Everything slows down on the land and we all head in to the warmth of the kitchens to work.The last few days up to Christmas i just love the buzz around the Farm Shop as people collect their orders and we put samples out for people to try.The best part on Christmas Eve is when all is done, Mum and Dad call everyone in for a get together and the glasses are raised and thanks to all for another year. |

Very much understand what you are saying joe.When you are producing a product that is very much festive bound, in my case a present for a loved one it is an incredible feeling to see the joy on peoples faces when they collect.

Now your talking! Christmas is fantastic. Sounds like you have a great time mate. Not a winter person myself I don't like cold wet weather and it really isn't the best time to be riding a scooter. I think what I like about Christmas is it certainly brightens up the winter! Let's hope we get a decent summer this year and there is plenty of Syming (and FS1Eing) done by the Symites!
