Farm Antibiotics

Pat's Note: Too weak and a touch xenophobic, but otherwise welcome. The Soil Association are far too keen to keep in with a corrupt Defra. They should be running them into the ground.

The operations were longer than planned - 5 and a half hours, but so far, it looks good, very good. I was sent home in less than half the usual time, because the hospital went on black alert - for obvious reasons - and they had no beds. I... more »

field drainage

My old car had its final trip to the breakers today. In an area of Dorset where all the names have 'Marsh' in it, giving a clue to its character.

Dear UKBA: This isn't a commercial endorsement on my part.....it's just that as a horse owner and trainer, I endorse Monty's principles and have used them myself.
