Too far for me, sadly.  Please take good notes and share with us afterwards, Rosemary!
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

I'm not going sadly - our grass doesn't suffer too badly from the ponies tbh. The sheep and the topper and constant poo picking all help  ;D
