It seems a bit late now to wish you all a happy New Year – but there I've gone and done it anyway!! It seems to have been a mixed festive season for most, with lots of horrible cold and flu bugs going round. We had a very old-fashioned family Christmas at the farm – we never go away as someone
What a glorious summer we've had! Actually, according to Angus a bit too glorious as everywhere is so dry and we're really struggling for grazing on the farm. I daren't say that too loudly in case I jinx us into having a really wet winter! Most of our site and a fair bit of the farm is on

Well, where can I start – it's certainly been the weirdest Christmas and end of year I've ever experienced. I don't know about you, but my head was spinning a bit from all the Tier changes (we went from 2 to 3 to 4 in less than a week), but I do seem to have got my head around it now. My
