Land please


hopefully this year i can start a serious search if things go according to plan...

Husband has plough on his list - which seems it might need a new tractor to pull it too  ???

I've asked for a new drill which is not strictly farming related but will be used for farming purposes - and has caused amusement amongst his colleagues.

Right oh John.


You gonna move closer to me or am I gonna move closer to you.


Today I needed an extra pair of hands putting an extension to my lambing shed. Some days it's hard work on your own.

Some help would be nice......struggle in the bad weather doing livestock.
Some large hay or haylage bales to see us through the winter, and not have to worry about finding some.
Dry warm weather - and no mud!!
I would settle for some lined willies, and a wind resistant jacket, oh, and the compulsory warm hat!!

I do hope this is a typo.  :roflanim:


I would settle for the health to be able to look after my own goats and do all my own growing.

Warm, dry gloves I can also work in
More shelter for the sheepies
More land of our own
Welly socks wot stay up
Loving homes for my excess sheep
A load of hardwood logs (sick of smashing up pallets)
To have more time
