• Wet harvest woes continue

  Once again I haven’t had internet connection for several days, so it hasn’t been until today that I’ve managed to catch up on emails and what’s been happening with my Nuffield chums who’ve been having the harvest from hell...

• If you go down to the woods today…

  So this… ..is why I’m never going to live in Australia. This monster is an orb spider. It usually hangs out in banana plants but today it decided to chillax above the path I was merrily tromping along halfway down Bicton Hill in Clump Mountain...

• Bank Holiday comes six times a year…

  …Days of enjoyment to which everyone cheers. Really? Obviously Damon Albarn hadn’t been to where I visited today when he wrote that song. The sun was actually out for the first time in ages this morning, so we headed to the east coast to make...

• Where’s Wally?

  Here she is: I’m getting the insults in before Gob of the Wash does. It’s a peach of a hat, innit? Bet you’re wondering why I have a scrunched up piece of felt and a feather protruding from my bonce, don’t you? Every year the Farmers...

• Viva las Niagara

  Heaven forbid that I would ever be accused of having a romanticised view of things, but I just didn’t expect Niagara Falls to be surrounded by a town that can only be described as as a cross between Blackpool, Las Vegas and Mablethorpe. My hostess... Posted Jul 17 2010, 12:28 AM by NufSaid Filed under: Agriculture, farming, Travel, Food, Countryside, Canada, niagara falls, fruit, niagara, las vegas [Edit Tags]

• Sneezy going through Canadian farmland

  Maybe I was asking for trouble when I took my Matthew Williamson handbag with me on a trip to a goat farm. Maybe it was my own fault for getting so close to try and take a photo. Anyway, lesson of today, in case you didn’t know dear readers, is...

• Tea and sympathy

  Seeing as he told me he doesn’t read blogs, I think I’m safe to say what I like about farmer Steve, who I met today. This is him overlooking the lake on his farm: I think Steve’s actually a closet Englishman, as he’s the first...

• A few of my favourite things

  My tent’s up (hurrah for the pop-up variety), the sun’s out, I’m on a farm and I have three days of music ahead of me. What could be better… Read More... Posted Jun 24 2010, 05:21 PM by NufSaid Filed under: Agriculture, farming, farm, Glastonbury, Music, Countryside, festival [Edit Tags]

• Springy

  I’m trying to save up money for my Nuffield scholarship travels, so to prevent myself being tempted to go out in London this weekend I came up to Nottingham to visit my parents (I’m being so tight, I even travelled here by coach. The least... Posted May 02 2010, 04:34 PM by NufSaid Filed under: dancing cows, Derbyshire, Nottingham, Countryside, Miss Pickering, spring [Edit Tags]
