Gathering up the free-range hens was becoming more of a pantomime with every passing week. Shutting in the hens before the farm shop closes every evening by 6pm was easy-peasy during the winter when darkness was always closing in.
I took a day out from the farm to visit Ireland’s newest greenway last week. The Boyne Valley to Lakelands Greenway links my county Meath with Cavan. The 32km greenway was the brainchild of Nobber farmer and local councillor, Eugene Cassidy.
I was in the gym the other day when I got chatting to a young fella on the bike beside me. The sweat was dripping off him but he reckoned he needed to get the most out of the session ahead of a big job that was going to nail him to a tractor seat for the next couple of days.
I’ve got car envy. I blame my parents. They went off on holidays and left their 231-reg car parked at the farm. I had no designs on using it much, but by the time they returned, handing back the car left me feeling morose.
