...spent most of yesterday afternoon mending gates and fences with old scraps of wood and baler twine. Very satisfying indeed.

Keeping the old skills alive e'h, good on yer

I feel like a real farmer because I have my overalls done up with baler twine

I find silage wrap is much better for a belt as its stretchy - and over time when its stretched too much it tells you your trousers need a hot wash - where it shrinks again ready for a new wear

Apparently, you are only a real farmer when you have:

1) Fallen over in a load of muck
2) Been head-butted by your tup
and 3) Accidentally injected yourself with an animal medication.

I'm feel proud to say I have achieved all 3!!

Have achieved 1) and 2) but not 3) yet.  Still an apprentice farmer then although I do use scraps of wood and baler twine like smudger so that must count towards.

To be authentic, it must be pallet wood....
