CMB Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 When travelling through this part of Pembrokeshire you were in Paul I found the soil, slate, hedgerows and general scenery to be very similar to those of south Devon, was that your experience?

Gav836 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I have the day off work today to keep an eye on Buster after he had an operation on his neck yesterday to remove infected tissue. Poor little fella is in a bit of discomfort and has a large swelling under his chin today which hopefully will go down once things start returning to normal there after the surgery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMurF Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Well today I have been tidying up the homestead farm ready for the end of september, When I shall become redundant SMurF after 22 years in this job. It was quite a shock when I was told but not realy unexpected considering what my job has turned into over the past few years, Turning from a farm worker into a carer whilst trying my best to keep the farm going as smoothly as possible. It is amazing how much junk can be accumulated over a 50+ year residence on a farm, And the time it takes to sort through it all. At least I'll have a good memory of the place as It is where I based down at smurfs on. I may have worked there for 22 years full time but I am the 3'rd generation to work there spanning over 50 years and as so I have grown up on the farm since a baby. But all things must come to an end I suppose and here's to finding a new avenue of life to follow. To which I have a few leads at the moment and we'll see what pans out.
