[Farmer]

Hi Joe,

Hope your feeling better...that's the one major drawback of being a smallholder NO STAFF!! I've been off colour myself over the past few weeks, but since there's no one else to do the work we just have to carry on...still I wouldn't change back to my old life (pre-retirement...what a joke) I had several offices and quite a few staff working for me...but I was still the first in and last to leave and strangely enough I seemed to cope with illness much better than my colleagues, who seemed to need a day off for the slightest sniffle...and they wanted holidays!!!    

I'd rather be with my lovely Gloucester pigs any day than some of the lazy swines I used to encounter ( only joking...they wern't a bad bunch really)

Get well soon

Not too sure how it works in Scotland, but my husband has been chasing the Department for months and they've still never acknowledged our pigs!  We got them in February! 

Being farmers, we were quite surprised that there's no tagging or anything to be done, just a dod of keel on their bums!
