@tandssewell @agrinick Other than shepherding, we don’t work Sundays. It’s from a faith perspective but has always had so many other benefits- when our children were small it was hugely appreciated by my wife! Give it a go- I’m sure your family will love you for it 😀

Took this picture couple of weeks ago. This land has been taken from us by HS2, unmanaged (even though it shouldn’t be) Black grass, brome, wild oats, thistles- what a mess! Can’t believe it is this bad only 6 months on from being farmed- is this the future with Re-wilding 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

@santanderukhelp I can’t set that up as I can’t see a sort code I only have the account number. It came across from an Abbey National account when Santander took them over.

[Stephen Adkins @GreatworthSteve]

@santanderukhelp No sadly not

[Stephen Adkins @GreatworthSteve]

@santanderukhelp Can you tell me how to contact you about an account that is not active at present please

Home saved undressed Barbados. Think I should have been braver and 1/2ed the seed rate and blocked off every other coulter 🤔

Same field but looking down the rows

Same spot as took the picture on the day we drilled it

@mullnm @tandssewell Cover crop of mustard planted after whole crop rye taken off at the end of June

[Stephen Adkins @GreatworthSteve]

Yes first bit to go in 😀

[Stephen Adkins @GreatworthSteve]

Really pleased with the roots on this rape. Direct drilled into wheat stubble/chopped straw 😀

@tandssewell We also are hoping to get a super fast line in, which will give us up to 1gb speed for lot less than paying at present. Coming through government backed scheme to connect rural areas where otherwise wouldn’t justify a connection- is there not a similar scheme in Kent?

[Stephen Adkins @GreatworthSteve]

@tandssewell We have an uncontended lease line which is fibre and is dedicated to our site. It is expensive but as we can share it out across all the offices, it works well. Not affordable as an individual I’m afraid though
