8.11pm - Friday 26th January 2024 11,652

The most crazy day today most of it spent on the m6 and yesterday rushing about like mad, a look about wolfenden concrete where our channels came from, Lely been here doing fun planning and checking all the distances etc, lots of site meetings with the lads and generally things I can’t actually show you that much. Road trip to Lancashire today felt like going home 😂😂 water pipes are all in channels are back filled ready and sump’s going in on Monday. Robot rooms are pre cast and will arrive soon then the big day when we lift the robots out of storage and into their forever home in the shed!!! Still not been to borrow a time lapse camera off Tom Pemberton I must get down there hopefully next week.

in 2009 i had no experience of farming or the realities that came with it. That soon changed when I met my other half Roy, I had a job as a carer and in every spare moment threw myself into farming. I had only ever driven a Nissan Micra and had experience with horses, I learnt the hard way as nobody had the time to show me and soon after arriving I found myself mothering on calves to three quarter bred limmy cows. We spent every available moment on the farm between our day jobs. Fast forward to 2016 two children later we moved into our very own farm overlooking the northern Pennines, Laitha.

we are in a transitional period at present and will finally be milking cows and making the final switch later this year, after years of planning and implementing infrastructure we will be milking 120 Jersey cows on two Lely robots. This will be a huge change and a steep learning curve

I will be taking you all along for the ride so hit that subscribe button and see you every other day for farming vlogs.

I am overjoyed to be a farmer. I feel so fortunate every day to wake up and do what I love and even better share it with the world and hope it inspires more young people from Preston to spread their wings and think outside the box the world doesn’t need more childcare workers or hairdressers it needs more farmers.
