We recently held a sale of all our 'dead stock' tractors, farm implements. etc. Buyers came from many miles.
Included in the sale was my Susuki quad bike, which I cannot mount or dismount now, even with help.
We sold our Guernsey herd - 70 milker cows, plus their followers - a couple of years ago. The only livestock that remain to be sold are 300 sheep.
Selling the farm and its contents and animals has been very traumatic for me. Purely because of the nostalgia.
In a few weeks time myself, my wife Margaret and my son Russ will move for the first time into a private house without any adjoining land.
Even though we will no longer have a farm to look after, it will be very busy at our new house.
Russ will have the ground floor for his gym, and the first floor will belong to Margaret and I. Russ will live on the top floor.
A lift is being fitted for me to help me get up the stairs. Once work on the lift is completed, we'll be ready to go!
