Winter Barley .. first field to be cut … first meal delivery to Man of the Woods and Mini MoW 😂
Sometimes they need more than just sandwiches (which, believe me, they will get when I’m busy) so today they each had a portion of a homemade chicken pie with mash topping instead of pastry 👌🏼
Don’t ask how many words I’ve typed while I’ve managed to maintain my FB-free and Insta-free world, because I have typed some – on someone else’s book!!! 🙈
A beautifully illustrated children’s pony book which I promised a dear friend I would type up (which I did back in the winter). However this talented 86 year old has very firm ideas about how she wants the pages displayed and so I am now playing with the text so it fits around and between her stunning illustrations… take a look at a couple of randomly picked pages👌🏼
How seriously cute????
Sort of Enid Blyton meets Rohl Dahl…. with a message about serious pony care. This is the story of Teazel, the Shetland pony, who eats too many apples and gets colic.
The vet, Mr Betternow ☺️, is called and saves him but a fabulous educational story for children and parents of children who might start playing with ponies.
This is her Book 1 of 9 – for the nine native breeds of England! I really hope to help her self publish these … I’ve picked up a tip or two over the last few months which I am very happy to share with her 🤗
Have a great day all!

Indeed.
Hard work, long hours…. but (without wanting to sound the violins like a lot of UK farmers do) there just isn’t the income from farming any more to pay for an extra £20,000 p/a farm worker….
It’s a labour of love these days… unless your Mr Dyson who can afford to be the UK’s biggest landowner and not be making a profit on that side of his business!!
