It was easier to go over the hill than round it. We thought nothing of it. When you live in the country you have to go for miles before you even get to a shop. Now I look after the chickens, feeding them and putting them to bed. We also have some
holiday caravans that I help with at the begin- ning of the season, washing the linen and suchlike. My daughter-in-law helps with them too. Farming has changed a lot. I do have a computer now but I don’t use it, it’s really my daughter-in-law that uses the computer. I love the farming lifestyle and being outside.
