@swallowspotting - how goes it. 2 pairs of swallows up here in Durham now. First one arrived a week ago. They're early for us. Hope it warms up for them!

@Wyefarm My hero.

[New Close Farm Durham @New_Close_Farm]

@GraemePeacock1 I hope you are very pleased with that!

@Countrystride1 That's 2000 lambs or so isn't it - some sleepless nights in there! Best of luck to them.

@New_Close_Farm Twins born at my cousin's New House Farm at Hawling (Gloucestershire) yesterday!

@Dunkirk_1940 Not relevant to your recovery but saw this and wondered if you were interested: https://t.co/MIqQo0PYBh

@Dunkirk_1940 Have only got the train but it's a glorious area. Well set up for walking and mountain / electric biking too.

@scotwoodlands If you're culling hares for greenwashed carbon offset schemes you're an absolute disgrace frankly.

@jamesjhistory Just a selfie, surely?

We've got a two-hoop toastrack bike stand left.
Is there a business or community group in County Durham that would like it?
It's completely FREE of charge.

@NikitaJGarner If you share a fenceline, get a second one up just inside the existing - make it clear that it's NOT shared and not for letting dog walking gates, etc, into...

@welshbuildings @ElvetCider don't be getting any ideas!

@AC0RNDAIRY @StTeresas This was brilliant and we were grateful to be there!

@robsonandcowan @Titch_Sheep In a real small world moment, this was my Grandparents' family business!

@StephensonC Standard. I needed 15 mins to finish some guttering although to be fair I don't think it would have coped either way!

[New Close Farm Durham @New_Close_Farm]

@SmallholdersUK Like you we're in / on a farm of some age. We're on 1st edition OS but also earlier maps from county archive and also university library on Palace Green too. Your building looks familiar too, I suspect there was a C18 standard farm! I think Eng Heritage have a vernacular guide.

@SmallholdersUK They are brilliant aren't they. We've got (or had yesterday) maybe 50 around at the moment. It's maybe the busiest I can remember it being here. We have had a late fledge so hopefully they'll stick around a couple of weeks yet. @swallowspotting is my long-standing ally in this.

[New Close Farm Durham @New_Close_Farm]

@SmallholdersUK Looking forward to this week to see how it's gone for you!

@DurhamCityLad Just lost an hour reading this!
