Thanks for your kind words. Sara @ farmingfriends Hi Paula,

It's a total nightmare. I do feel for you. I've also just heard that foot and mouth is back in the country...a bit hard to take on board. 2007 will be a summer to remember indeed.

I don't know of any crop circles in our area. I would be happy to meet your daughter and her friends and show them our farm and the local area. Our farm is close to York and that would be a great place for the girls to visit. Sara @ farmingfriends Hi BoggyWoggy,

Thanks for your wishes. Sara @ farmingfriends Hi John,

What an adventure! Keep up the good work! The world needs you farm-types! By the way...ever had any crop circles in your area??? Just curious... Oh, and my daughter will be a senior in HS this year and plans on traveling to Europe next summer with 2 girl friends. They are going to Ireland, Spain, Sweden, UK, Germany...and wherever else their hearts take them. Can we possibly keep in touch...and continue getting to know each other...and possibly my daughter can meet you while there??? It just seems like a dream!

It is good to receive supportive comments like yours. It was a huge relief when the combine was back in action. Steve did not mention that they even had to rope me in to help dig the wheel out of the soil! The weather has improved alot and the ground is beginning to dry up. The wheat is now being harvested and tomorrow we may go back to try the oilseed rape. Wish us luck! Sara @ farmingfriends Hi John,

Thank goodness the weather seems to be improving John Your article on Broken down combine, makes us realize the reality of farming, I can imaging how relieved your were to abandon every thing, forklift, wooden blocks, tools, chains, straps and the old wheel hub and get on with the harvest before the night set in.Just to think Steve people in sedentary jobs think they are the only ones experiencing stress.
