I've been quiet on the old Twitter lately.
Thought I'd start up again and tell you more about our smallholding and how we part-time farm

@emilyvcole Hi Emily, I wonder if you'd know any more about the Mainstone boulder. I have information that i believe it may have been used as a 'stone of strength' or lifting stone. Yours is the only photo of it I can find on the internet. I can be reached through FB or Insta. Ta

How serious is @DefraGovUK about reversing our catastrophic biodiversity crisis? This week farms have been loosing out on significant opportunities to positively impact wildlife and their climate resilience due to a lack of funding.

To whom it may concern, please try and refrain from using the word ‘rewilding’, you will engage better with farmers, and those are the people who can instigate the greatest change on the land around us all.

@michlichen We used to call it the Julia Bradbury effect. Now it's the Instagram effect. You've got to be seen to be enjoying nature now, you can't just explore for the sake of it!

Had a police officer call here this wknd as they’d had a complaint that we were driving around the sheep too much and chasing some to catch them! 🙈
Please if you move to the countryside make some attempt to learn what farmers do. 🙄🤷🏻‍♀️

[Calum Stott @CalumStott1]

@goat_tracks I like to do that with the sheep

This is Hannah, my better half! Feeds sheep in her dressing gown, mucks out cows without (many) complaints and follows me up mountains putting up with my sh*T. Legend!

@shepherdesskit @McVities All too accessible... Need a secret stash hidden somewhere too for when the other half finishes a packet. Preferably dark chocolate digestives

@Rubberbandits Well that's going to be stuck in my head there all day now!

A song about a fella who takes a canoe up to Longford to get into a fight. The song is performed,produced and written in the moment as improv, to the events of a videogame, while interacting with a Livestream audience. Hyperreal songwriting

@FarmingLakes @BBC_Cumbria Ahh grand job! I'd not seen them yet. When I was there they never had the additional "preferably on leads" bit
