    What about getting a couple of TY students from your local school a farmers daughter or son mad for a bit of work experience and something different, not much to a bit of planning when you show them the ropes, some of them young ones are great workers and mad to learn.

    yeah im a teacher! i know , problem is i need someone in day time when im not there im off for the first week mid term. just someone to tip around with the father during day bring in ewes that drop lambs , sort the odd problem one. i do nights for the sake of the other 10 days or so. the caretakers in school reckon i should bring two or three into school , lob them in pollytunnnell and let the tys do lambing live! the principal thought it was a great idea, i dont want giving her ideas!
