If there is one thing we should all learn from what is happening in #Ukraine️ it is to appreciate the things we do have and never to take peace in our land for granted 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

@FlowerdewBob It’s a nightmare isn’t it. I wrote the index for my book, all 300 plus pages, the hard way - manually, no software help.

It took a hard, long week. Hardest bit of all I think.

I can’t really stomach using a platform owned by someone who’s ethos I detest.
I’ll be here very rarely now.
Please keep in touch.

@AspectForest To be fair, I haven’t used for about 18 months.
I was hoping to use it again soon too 🙄

And a ‘fair playing field’ is not asking farmers to run 2/3 other jobs/businesses to make ends meet when they already have an incredibly demanding job.

Just finished listening to this.
I’ve never seen the film so it was new to me.

Extraordinary

@SouthYeoFarm It’s a very stupid comment, especially as the Treasury have been adamant that hardly any farms will be affected anyway 🤬

[Dot Tyne @VSSufficiency]

Given that the Treasury has been adamant that so few farmers are going to be affected and it will raise so little money , lowering waiting lists, cutting interest rates and mortgages must be a piece of cake 🙄

Keir Starmer abandoned his visit to Buckinghamshire to promote housing plans due to a farmers protest. He has now disingenuously doubled down on the inheritance tax on family farms.

“Would people prefer NHS waiting lists to come down, lower interest rates, mortgages to come down OR tax breaks for farmers? We know what they would prefer. It’s a choice.”

@RhidianGlyn @prohill_sheep Here too 😉

Interesting Fact, one reason the Horse Chestnut (conker tree) was so named, is because of the Horseshoe shaped scar (complete with 7 nails) that sits below every new 'sticky bud' of the season. The scar is where last years leaves were formed.😍

This is what a proper statesman with class does.

@CarlBovisNature Can totally relate! My oh managed to accidentally stick a knife in his thumb joint just before Christmas and ended up having to have surgery to repair a severed tendon. One handed for about 12 weeks in total. 5,5 weeks to go 🙄
Men eh 😂

@campbellclaret I’ve never heard the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 anthem on the bagpipes before.

Good on you. ❤️

@engcountrylife We have a muck/heavy/ dirty things barrow (metal) and a clean/lighter/garden barrow (plastic).
Both single wheeled.
Works really well.

@AspectForest @1901gennelm Ditto as a farmer.

[Dot Tyne @VSSufficiency]

@muddymuddymum Can totally relate.
Feel the same.

It’s relentless and thankless.

At least it’s not raining
