its been a long, long time!

After a long time without blogging i have finally bitten the bullet and decided to write again.

I should re-cap what has happened over the last few years:-

The children are getting bigger, hungrier and more expensive than ever, mrs g also...

The farm amazingly is still solvent - despite my best efforts (and mrs g's)

I see in my last blog that i was still working in the graintrade. Unfortunatly work was hard so i quit...

We have more ducks than ever, and will soon have even more as another shed is being built at the moment. that is, if it finally ever stops raining!

despite the economy, duck related construction work, and their ability to annoy me, the horses and horsey people are still here. we have our usual love/hate relationship. I love them all - they hate me, pretty much unanimously i think at the moment due to mud caused by duck construction, noise caused by duck construction, traffic caused by.. i think you have guessed by now!

We have expanded into private storage and workshop units. i quite enjoy this side of the business as it involves very little effort or management. two exceptionally good traits for any business i am involved in. I am not sure if my watching constant re runs of 'Storage Wars' and 'Auction Kings' is a good idea though. these television programmes (for the bennefit of my non TV obsessed readers) involves people who buy abandoned or bankrupt private storage units at auction and then they root around in the debris and oddments of the peoples lives stored therin, looking for valuables to sell on. it makes me secretly hope if anyone abandons one of our units and i have to go through it, that i will be finding the occassional unknown Piccaso or Rembrandt stuffed into the back of a shipping container, which would help my relationship with my bankmanager greatly! - not to mention my relationship with Mrs G. it would be my luck that i would just find a pile of dodgy asbestos and some really poor quality 70's porn - not all bad i hear you say, but its bound to be Betamax not VHS!
