    Last year there were proposals of a boards Christmas party. What happened this year :confused:

    Christmas time is always a bit hectic with everyone having parties. I could float the idea again in Jan if there is actually interest for it. Or would all the dairy people be calving.


    Aaaand a man with a ladder just walked by the kitchen window. WTF.

    Edit- It's my builder uncle with a hat on, putting a cap on the chimney to stop rain getting in.

    You'll always find Kovu that farmers will find some reason not to attend. Time has to be made for these things

    Do you realistically have to left a farm/have a farm in the family in order to become a farmer these days?

    I would imagine the start up cost for a normal Joe would be very high. I am just curious.

    Today is day with fewest hours of sunlight. Always make me marvel at those that built Newgrange years ago with the sun lighting up inside at sunrise. Where would you get someone that could do that now without use of computers etc...

    Well, maybe Reggie in guntering thread:)
