Sound Clash

I am halfway through completing the LEAF on-line audit. It’s a bit of a long haul and I am getting a bit ratty. Dad and I share an office with a large L-shaped desk. Dad just came in to the office and sat down at his computer and started typing. I assumed that he was [...]

Completely Mister Point

I’m bloomin’ mad. I’ve got plenty to do getting ready for two audits tomorrow but I have to share this with you. A call on my mobile Line 1 “Allo, Mafue?” (this is how most people around here have decided that my name should be pronounced) Me “Yes” Line 1 “My name is Mr Davis” [...]

More Tea, Vicar?

I gave the after dinner speech to the LEAF Demonstration farmers at their annual dinner last night. I was very nervous about the whole thing and had been faffing around altering what I wanted to say for the last few days. I had a rough draft done on Sunday morning which I wasn’t happy with [...]

Leading from Behind

I have been quiet for a week because I’ve been in London for the last leg of the leadership course that I have been doing. I didn’t tell you this because obviously you would have come and burgled my home and that would never do. Actually I had the builders here while I was away [...]

The Photos are Here

Just to prove that I don’t make up the stories in this blog and that my life is truly as absurd and humiliating as you like it to be, here is one of the photos from the photo shoot that I told you about.

A New Train of Thought

Another good title – we are riding on the crest of a creative wave aren’t we? I’m blogging you from my laptop on a train. Yes, be stunned and amazed. We are living in the future now. I bet that you had no idea that such technology was available. Would you like me to order [...]
