In early January, I had the pleasure of spending two days in Westminster meeting MPs and special advisers to make the case for securing farm incomes and creating space for nature.
We are still shut down with TB. It is rumbling slightly, with one reactor in each of the past two tests. Obviously it is sod’s law that the best heifer had to go.
Last year went out in a deluge of water as our little stream next to the farm turned into a raging torrent and burst its banks, flooding sheds, kennels, steading and almost the house.
Most weeks on the farm I truly believe there is no better job in the world.
