A farmers toast!

Let the wealthy and great, Roll in splendour and state, I envy them not i declare it, I eat my own lamb, My chickens and ham, I shear my own fleece and i wear it, I have lawns,I have bowers, I have fruits,I have flowers, The lark is my morning alarmer, So joyful boy's now, Here's god speed the plough, Long life and success to the farmer!!

    You've never climbed Snowdon! Me neither.
    Fancy having worked for yourself for so long - I never have. Different lives eh?

    I got half way up Snowdon once and then the mist came down and so did I.

    LOVE working for myself - will never let anyone employ, or boss me around again.

    Why ARF?

    Berlimey seven properties . . .lots of work.

    Why have you never been abroad - asked out of interest . . not judgement . . .

    I've never climbed Snowdon either... although it is on my list of things to do. Who knows how long it will take me as I'll most likely keep stopping to take photos!

    I really do admire your independent mind and can do attitude, Bodran. You are quite an amazing lady with so many accomplishments, who needs Snowdon?

    Yeah, stuff Snowdon (too many tourists). I've done Moel Siabod and that was good enough (smug).

    Hi Bod, thanks for popping over to mine, so here I am at yours. Got here at last! See that Zoe answered your photo question. As for music - sorry if Mr Robbie Williams distracted you - I know what you mean though - distracts me too! If you don't want to listen, turn down the volume knob on your computer speakers,or go to the green playlist towards the bottom of the right hand side (scroll down) and you can click the pause button, just like a CD/DVD/video, or click on another less distracting song if you don't like what's playing! Sorry too if my post confused you! - I read it back and it confused me too!

    Loved reading your 7 things - some of them put me to shame. Sometimes I feel I know 'abroad' better than my own country...there are so many beautiful places still to discover here.

    Extension will be fab - but building is a nightmare. Hang on in there.
