Sorry to hear you are on long term sick:( but your care work with vulnerable boys, sounds so rewarding. Good luck ally1.

No, not the Mafia,farming ;)

I chase (or get chased by )sheep for a living, guess that makes me a shepherd/ shepherdess/shepherdperson :D

Before I got ill many years ago I was an archaeologist. Then I met hubby and moved to his farm on the island in the Baltic sea where I now live. We run the farm between us and I am in charge of the vegetable part of it. Since I started thyroid meds and got my energy back I have built a larger poly tunnel and generally expanded the vegetables but it is still very small scale, only about 12000 square metres vegetables and 400 sq m poly tunnel.

Cherry tomatoes are coming along nicely, picked 12 kilogram this afternoon.

My parents kept cattle, pigs and hens. When they were retired they let the fields out to a sheep farmer. I was asked to help separate them one day.......I thought it would be as easy as working with pigs and cattle.......how wrong was I? 'Stand in that gap' they said...and I promptly got head butted by a ram, I almost passed out. I don't like sheep. Sheep are vicious.

Or for the LCHF fans a passanda sauce made with almonds and cream. I am drooling as I type!
Surely you didn't think the farmers keep them for their cuteness?

No of course I people don't think the farmers keep the sheep for their cuteness o_O It's actually to add a bit of colour to the green fields, a bit of white,brown or black dotted here and there, colour coordinated:D,so very Gok Wan. It would look very boring with just green all the time;) lol
