Well, the farm is to be auctioned. I am really sad it has come to this, but relations with co owner, my brother, can be no worse, and this is the only way out. I was too upset to go to the meeting with the solicitor, so my hubby went instead. He said my brother really slated me, and the solictor had to step in and stop him. Brother has no interest in farming or animals, and all he wants is money. He is fuming about the TB problem, which obviously is not my fault .....
So, because of the auction we need to move out. Easier said than done - we cannot buy until the farm is sold obviously. There is no way I can move in with my brother so thats out. To rent houses in this area is like having a big mortgage. Cannot move far away as we have the land just up the lane with the goats and ponies on.
Our main problem is the 5 farm dogs, which live outside, and also the 8 farm cats also outside. The cats can fend for themselves, but I do feed them every day as well. I suppose they could stay until the farm goes, so long as I come back every day to see to them. There again, I am not sure I want to keep reminding myself of the farm we are leaving, and it will upset me to come to an empty house every day.
I suppose I should move on and look to the future, but at the moment its very uncertain....
