It's been a bit quiet on here during the past week and the blame lies with a bunch of Young Farmers.
In a positive way, of course. It is just I have been tied up at the agm in Blackpool being thoroughly entertained by over 5000 YFC members.
It was a great weekend with clubs from all over the country meeting to compare notes, compare club shirts and boast about the size of their tackle.
And it struck me that as a group of young people - you couldn't meet a nicer bunch. OK there was a fair bit of beer consumed over the weekend and at times some groups were pretty noisy. But at no point did you get the sense that things were going to boil over into the kind of aggressive, violent behaviour that seems to characterise so many towns and cities.
They knew where the boundaries were and respected them in a good-natured way. A great bunch.
