Farm news
If only we had a couple of beavers, a Snow Queen, a wardrobe and some Turkish delight. We could easily be in Narnia. However, in the luscious romance of such snow-covered land, there never seemed to be any problems of transport. And if there were such issues, flying unicorns or scarily large birds would step (swoop) in to sort it out. Sadly, on the other side of the wooden doors, such entities, at least to my knowledge, are not available as yet. Thus, we must (snow) plough on to make best the situation with which we are faced….
At Secretts farm in Milford, the snow has hit hard. Think a very vexed Ricky Hatton in the biggest fight of his life. Yes, that hard. Subsequent problems have resulted and it has been difficult, to say the least, to keep the well-oiled mechanisms a-turning. With produce frozen in the ground, vans unable to leave the farm and people not able to get to work, the situation was dire. However, with shovels in hand, wellies on tootsies, thermals all over, it was down to sheer determination to form an affective Plan of Action.
There is nothing like the sobering effects of snow-related problems to quiet the childlike excitement that it usually ignites. However, with persistent smiles and a thirst for action, teamed with the prime importance of our customer’s needs, we have soldiered on to try and cope in the best way possible. Bar taking a hairdryer to the broccoli (not such a stupid suggestion I thought….), utmost efforts of a sizeable scale are being made to combat the icing sugar covered landscape.
