    If you came to visit they wouldn't be long finding another room for yourself but instead of padding they could hang heather on the walls so it wouldn't be a step too far out of your natural habitat.
    Talking of habitats , I was stripping a garden for the cows there with temporary posts and it took me 13 stabs with one post before I got a place to let me put down a plastic post between stones ! Pure hardship

    If i find a good block of land to rent within half hour of home I'll consider dairy but the home place will be as productive now from AEOS and any other grants and the few sucklers for all thats in it . Nearly sorry the bypass isn't going through it !
