Seen the farmer this afternoon they have just over 100 cows
Unfortunately they don't do raw but I'm not sure the other half would stand for the kids having raw I have to pick my battles. I hope it pays for them to do it. It's a valuable asset to the community. You do get people coming from quite far for it. I think it helps being a jersey herd with high fat content.

LMAO

Funny I'm going back to butchers and green grocer finally found the latter.
Even he said he can't believe how stuff is going off so quickly these days.
Realised yesterday the grocer supermarket and butchers are all on the same route to so easier shopping

I'd say I big percentage of the up together farms around here now have self serve machines or some kind of farm gate shop.
Ours up the lane is surprisingly busy...he does ice creams and milkshakes which he makes a killing on...and being in the area we are it's very popular with the asians for some reason!

Yeh ours was going to do ice cream and coffee but he said the ice cream machines had a few bugs he was waiting before investing. He does have a syrup machine to do milkshakes. I genuinely hope they make a good living out of it. Unfortunately gets fined for every L he sells from the farm gate due to his muller contract. We also get hordes of pakis using the milk shack. Never clean up after themselves. Post it on tik tok. Pain in the arse.

Ice cream their equivalent of nice cold beer or what?

well it sounds like the Exon Valdez shite slinger/sprayer is back in action -

'least it was .... not heard it for two days again and the partially sprayed field is still just that
only smell today is new mown grass ... were still mowing the field outside / beside our lawn at midnight last night
turned it about half two today
38C on the patio at half three
not done a lot today, apart from sit in the shade under a brolly and listen to some favourite tunes, dozing ... when Harper allowed ... 'til I picked up Clara
first words as she came out of school were.... "can we play with the tractor again please grand dad ", which Harper had be asking all day too
so half three 'til half five has been spent baking in the sun

did BB for this guy last night BTLs ...
nice specimen ....

used to get a lot of White Ermine moths here, first few years we were here, but not seen any in a long time ...
plenty of moths and butterflies about with all this heat though ....
but only seen two or three hornets this year

spent a couple of hours yesterday adding some door furniture to a couple of external doors ... my least favourite job .. been putting it off for a looooooong time, but was too hot to do a lot yesterday .. Pam out with some mates so peace and quiet to get on and do them - uninterrupted

wasn't impressed with the quality of the screws, considering these were Chubb
been a while since I've had to wield a chisel

Bought a couple of these the other day ... saw a guy on you tube extolling the virtues of his new $30+ propelling pencil and sheath to keep it in yer pocket, securely
damn me up they popped on Temu .... tenner for two and 200 leads .... have to say I am very pleased with them .. can never keep a point on a pencil (or find one with a decent point to start with)

built in sharpener to keep that nice point and a long slender tip for deep hole marking

got to last longer than most do round here
