    Diary Of Becoming A Farmer

    Guaranteed to make your fortune!

    Now that I've got your attention.  If I'd titled this Safe as Houses or Haystacks, you wouldn't have even clicked the link would you.

    So Let's start again.

    Safe as Houses or Haystacks. 

    If Only!

    I've just spent a horrible two days at the scene of the fire in Camberwell where three adults and two children, including a three week old baby died.  It's not confirmed yet but it is thought a third child also died.  What has also come out today is the horrific detail of the last moments of some of those that died.

     

    I can only begin to imagine what was going through those relatives minds as this tragedy unfolded.

    Having family including three children of my own it really does get to you.  I've been close to tears several times.

    Fire does also get quite close to farmers far too often.  Years ago it was seen as an occupational hazard at haymaking.  Still on the photo galleries of FWi space, pictures of machinery reduced to cinders, often with the lucky escape of the farmer driving it.

    Some may think that the Health and Safety Executives "Make The Promise, Come Home Safe" campaign may seem like yet another "nanny state" initiative, but nothing, especially not your work, is as important as your family.  What is the point of working if it's not to be able to enjoy your life with your family.

    Give your family a hug, tell them you love them and "Make The Promise, Come Home Safe!
