It breaks my heart to write this post, but last night my husband Steve took his own life on our farm. I am completely numb and can’t get my head around what has happened. As ever our amazing farming community has stepped up to support me, when they themselves are struggling 💔💔

Something seriously needs to be put out to the wider public, it’s chaos in the countryside at the moment, and it’s dangerous with stock getting out, and these damn bbq fires should not be happening ! Please use some common sense, I’m worn out dealing with people ☹️

Gates left wide open=cattle escaping. People lighting BBQ’s in tinder-dry fields = danger to #wildlife @BorisJohnson #GeorgeEustace at next briefing pls advise: keep BBQ’s at home & follow the #countrysidecode @DefraGovUK @NFUtweets @NFUPolitical @Minette_Batters @NFUCountryside

It was the most beautiful sunrise this morning for Winter Solstice, we’re past the shortest day slowly heading out of the darkness, that’s what I’ll try to hold on to at the moment. Again thank you all for kind words and support 😊 Take care of one another.

Finished at 3 o’clock this morning, the rain was really picking up, but the good news is that we finished the 100 acres of barley we wanted to 😃 Thankfully only a few loads to go through the drier. Now to see what the weather holds in store as the forecast is pants ! #harvest23

It’s a really rubbish picture but the moon is absolutely awesome tonight, it looks massive and you can clearly see the Hare in the Moon, and I’m surrounded by Hares and loving life 😃 #harvest22

I had a problem with the telehandler this morning, nothing major but it was something that Steve would’ve just gone on and sorted. I almost reached for the phone to call a neighbour, but instead sat down with the manual and sorted it myself !! I drive all the machinery, but
