My favourite author. She would take away by worries while trying to attack my illness. Plenty of time for reading!

How very kind. I love colours, especially blue. I love photos too. Thank you, I will look forward to seeing yours.

A good mother!

My Granddaughter is doing a run for Marie Curie cancer fund. Apparently they get less attention than Macmillan nurses. She will run 5k every day for 6 days over her farm fields with the faithful Collie guarding her. He is fast too!

Very useful for trying to restore a garden.

I did ask if they could cut bigger eye holes but they said no!

Thank you. Good idea.

Go to messenger & I should come up!

Thank you for your reply. I am taking strong painkillers just to get up & on. It’s not raining today & a gentle walk on the Moor may help with the ponies & their new foals to look at.

How about this chlorinated chicken now going to be allowed into the U.K. from the States! It will be cheap & lots will buy it. What will follow.....

Thank you so much for that. Now I must be positive starting tomorrow with the bloods! My small veins make it very difficult but heyho they should be used to tricky patients! I don’t know what I would do without your site. So thank you wholeheartedly., susie

Thank you Wilf.

I had my toncils out aged 2! You give me good hope. Thank you.

Interesting. I don’t know anyone else with throat cancer. So useful info.

Wow poor you. Well done though & thanks for the encouragement.

Wow. Poor you. Well done though. I do know that so many others are suffering too. Thanks for that encouragement.

Thank you. Now a huge delivery of Energy Fibre drinks have arrived! I am going to run out of space for all these boxes! In some ways I want the Radiation course to start. It’s the thinking about it that is difficult.

Thank you. I do hope it helps others, especially if I get through it!

Thank you. Good luck to you too. We must keep positive.

Thank you for that encouragement.

Very useful to revamp the garden.

A good mother!

That’s problem. It’s so pretty, I have to take photos! Luckily no proper facilities & dangerous rocks put people off!

Yes. I hoped it might be helpful to others & to say that there is so much support out there. Also that in the 60’s when my mother got breast cancer, you just did not mention the C word. She had to cope with it alone.

They have tried that & it worked in the past but not today!

200 acres plus woodland. A glorious day ahead. Enjoy.

No we have run out of hay & prices are sky high. Once the grass gets going we will be ok. We have different fields to rotate the animals in. SS does not like photos of children on here but I have a cute photo of the girls warming & drying twin Red Ruby calves with their mother eating a treat next to them & the young Collie dog sitting quietly watching & guarding! The Americans enjoy these photos as their farming is very different!

Yes on balance but this hot/cold weather is hard for the newborns. We need the grass to grow with some warm sun & rain. They say that farmers are never satisfied with the weather. Probably true!

How kind of you. We do love our animals & try to do the best for them. It is very much a home environment with the dogs & children walking through their fields, so they are used to them. The latest news of the lovely Jersey cows & their calves being stolen on Bodmin is a worry. Sounds very professional. We do check last thing at night & first thing in the morning. The Guinea Fowl wakes us up! They are good guard dogs.

Thank you so much for your lovely encouragement. Sometimes it all seems a bit overwhelming & climate change is something we cant do anything about! The only advantage of having the girls at home instead of school, is that they are a great help with the animals & today have been keeping the new born calves warm with blankets. It is such a temperature change. However their work is deteriorating a bit as I simply don't have the time to spend 3 hours each morning doing schoolwork! Also some of it, particularly Science is beyond me! Stay safe.

Thank you so much. The small family farmers feel everything is against them with a very wet winter, a dry spring, veganism etc. Most other businesses seem to be covered!

Like you thinking aboutBPS it is so difficult to know what to do. As you say we need warm sunshine, more rain & not this wild gale!. Keep safe Susie

Thank you all for your comments.

Perfect for early morning writing my blog in bed & I could take it outside in good weather. Very useful indispensable friend!

Perfect Pavers for summer months.

Thank you. Dry & dusty on the farm & lack of water a problem. Cows drink a lot! It makes me think, it must be terrible in drought countries.

Thank you so much. The biggest problem at the moment is lack of rain, having to use food stored for the winter, and walkers coming onto the land with mothers with calves etc. Good to chat with someone who knows about all the problems! But as you say the stay at home problem is easy as we are very much alone on the farm & lucky to live in such a beautiful area. The girls are having to learn at a young age to help out as it is only us. Schoolwork may well fall by the wayside but other knowledge of birth & death is very real. Enjoy the farming.

Thank you. The girls did one last time & it worked! But not enough. Now there is this strong wind which is so drying. My Granddaughter is Kez too but with a z!

Perfect for a keen iPad user

Beautifully done & food for thought.
