Scared of Looking Back ...

Well, most of you will know that the weekend's pig adventure was called off due to the distressing news that an outbreak of Foot & Mouth had hit the UK once again. Consequently, a ban on the movement of all livestock was imposed, leaving prize winning Ophelia to stay home and do whatever it is pigs do when the party has been cancelled (play Sowdoku? Sorry). Aside from the disappointment all round, the real fears of a new epidemic were far more worrying. For my friends down on the farm, show pigs or no, the dairy herd comes first and the current ban on movements has many implications affecting the bottom line of an already marginally profitable business. At the time of writing, the ban is still in place but we hope the 'experts' have got this one nipped in the bud, for the sake of all concerned.





Anyway, I'm feeling the need to catch up on a few things that have been going on around here lately but as usual, the day just whips along. I've also realised that in this blogosphere I'm never quite sure who I'm talking to, whether we've already spoken, whether you are even bothered, and so on. I did say at the outset you were to tell me if I was becoming self-obsessed?



So, since I don't know who you are, I'll share a new find with you and hope that one of you likes it. I've been listening to her album all week. Kate Walsh. I think it's utterly beautiful....
