All brilliant and I love this one above too - people keep telling me sarcastically  I shouldn't have bothered getting dressed up to see them - I just say its that 'I'm so rich I don't have to worry about holy t shirts look' - well, it 'sa look....!

Same for us except for lamb read piglet.  Oh and the dust can get to more than 4 inches thick.

am cooking a big family roast today with people coming who are not animal-minded. currently shoving sacks of lamlac out of site, mopping a floor that's not seen water for weeks and trying to spray febreze to hide any farm smells!! weird how we become a bit immune to it really? lol

you open a bale and discover an old mobile phone

no mobile in ours - but several half tennis balls the dogs had lost early in the year

 Yep!  Just about sums it up.  At the moment I constantly smell of sheep wee 'cos I keep picking up the lambs and they suck my ears, nose, chin etc... if they have just had a feed off their mums then their snouts stink of wee.  Just to top that off, I'll feed one of the bottle fed ones and it will invariably pooh all down my t-shirt and jeans.

No farmer, only chickens but I often go to the supermarket with muddy wellies and leaves and straw in my hair!!!!!! Love it!!!!! I do spray a bit of Impuse (horrid stuff) to camaflage the smell of dog treats and stale pond water and poo!!

Another thought, possibly an advantage, you can always find your (filthy) car in the biggest most crowded supermarket car park because it stands out like a sore thumb

Oh dear - this thread is making farmers/smallholders sound more like 'dirty, smelly, can't be bothered to clean up' types. Many of us are not, honest.

I think that it's more can't find the time rather than can't be bothered.  that's my excuse and I am sticking to it

Well, yesterday I DID make an effort, dress, tights, earings and necklace but still ended up with dog hair and leaves all over me, a chip stuck in my cleveage that Rhum found when I got back from that posh resturant McDonalds,  and then left  a trail of mud into our lounge as I did not take off my shoes that I had just been out to the chickens in"""" Oh well, carn't say I did not try

Coo - you dress up for McD's!!!!? 

I hope that Rhum isn't your neighbour / bank manager / doctor / dentist......

Its quite lucky that in rural areas it seems to be pretty much accepted that you may stink a little and you may only have one pair of footwear - ie boots.

I can imagine if I went to london and went shopping in harrods I'd get a few looks.

I was once was waiting outside Swansea train station for my driving lesson and an old woman came and gave me 20p for a cup of tea. Cheeky old mare - but obviously a nice gesture had I actually needed a cuppa

 :oRhums our Chocolate lab, McDOnalds was my once in a while treat as I dare NOT eat there, weight issues that are creeping up again!!!!! Today, I have reverted back to my strechy joggers and hoody, wellies are off now and too big crocks on, style guru me!!

[Fowgill Farm]

OMG i'm a farmer.
OH despairs because i go to the local SPAR shop in my wellies and piggy work clothes, he drives with the window down and says i smell of boar pig!!
Didn't find my mobile in a bale of straw though, fell out of my pocket whilst cuddling Clover pig and by time i realised and went back to find it she had trashed it!!
We've also had pigs in the kithcen too, left the back door open and came round corner to find two of my gilrs hoovering up the contents of the kitchen bin 
Off to move some straw, doesn't it just get everywhere!!!!!!!!!!
