I forgot my camera so there are no views of Speyside. Shame as it looked wonderful in the hot sunshine we had yesterday. Instead here is a picture of one of the jobs that needs doing periodically...cutting the grass round the pond (once a month) and clearing the pond weed out (once or twice a year depending on the weather).
I am just back after a 8 hour journey, it took longer than usual because I hit Keighley at rush hour...fatal.
The journey wipes me out but we'll be doing it again in 2 weeks time, this time with a van load of furniture. No, the farm is not sold, well not entirely but we are being optimistic. Anyone would be mad not to love it here if they want a smallholding and are on a smallish budget. I have spent 3 evenings watching A Place in the Country on TV with my dad and I know what we have to offer is good value. It may not be chocolate box pretty and it may a tad cooler than the centre of Bradford but then who wants too much heat when you are working on the land. It saps your energy.
Our first neighbours went to Adelaide to laze in the sun but if lazing is what you want to do then don't even think of buying 11 acres.
