High Blean B&B

My housekeeper has prepared me some toasted salmon skin treats that I heartily approve of.

Ada is sticking close to the housekeeper

Nice sunny afternoon before the big melt so we got some off lead training in. We were pleased than she showed no interest in sheep that were on the road. A positive for us.

We managed to get some high level off lead training today. Very cold but bright and dry. Took a while to find a field without sheep.

@MarcherReborn Bloody hell this is unusual for you, you normally dismiss anything that does not have a rational explanation in terms of current thinking!

4/…mythology around it. To this day, I’m still convinced that the tree fought back and bit me !!

2/….aluminium pole. Without warning I felt a huge electric shock and ended up on my backside in the field. I beat a hasty retreat with my haul of mistletoe and called it a night. I sat in the car wondering how I could have been so stupid to not see the electric overhead wire?

@robinmonotti But what about M&S, who are already using milk obtained from cows fed the Bovaer feed supplement? Plus, it is alleged M&S are applying intense pressure on their milk suppliers who are reluctant to feed Bovaer to their cattle!

Full list of Arla Foods' Bovaer 'contaminated' products boycotted by customers: from Lurpak to Cravendale and even Starbucks, as controversial cow feed additive sparks backlash | Link in comments:

@CartlandDavid @ReclaimAlbion It is worth investigating the allegation that M&S applied pressure on their dairy farmer suppliers to add this to their cattle feed. At this time M&S have the milk on sale with no real negative effect to them while Arla is only a trial and the focus is on them. Both unacceptable

A lot of people have enquired today about a directory for Bovaer free dairy suppliers: Here it is NoBovaer - Natural Dairy Suppliers NoBovaer by ⁦@ReclaimAlbion⁩ SHARE the life out of this directory!! nobovaer.com

@ChukkaBennett Easy mistake to make Nidge

Ah, Nigel. When I said we were taking the Tart out with us for our walk, I actually meant Maman, not your Bakewell

Miss Ada’s first snow and she is embracing it. Against her better nature she is even helping the butler get some food to the birds who will be struggling today.

@KI7BDA @mmuthukrishna Mine two but he was my second choice!

@mmuthukrishna Well, my guess was wrong...

Quick Quiz: Who said this? Land Monopoly is not the only monopoly, but it is by far the greatest of monopolies — it is a perpetual monopoly, and it is the mother of all other forms of monopoly. Unearned increments in land are not the only form of unearned or undeserved profit, but they are the principal form of unearned increment, and they are derived from processes which are not merely not beneficial, but positively detrimental to the general public. Land, which is a necessity of human existence, which is the original source of all wealth, which is strictly limited in extent, which is fixed in geographical position — land, I say, differs from all other forms of property, and the immemorial customs of nearly every modern state have placed the tenure, transfer, and obligations of land in a wholly different category from other classes of property. Nothing is more amusing than to watch the efforts of land monopolists to claim that other forms of property and increment are similar in all respects to land and the unearned increment on land.

@ospreyceren27 That sky is incredible.

Red sky over Loch Kinord.

@DavidWilding271 Yes, that is right. We were wondering how long this has been going on as one day slips into another.

@HighBleanBandB Cheesed off with this weather…last time I saw the sun was in Sedbergh two weeks ago!

Yet another day of Dunkelflaute and no sign it is going to change shortly.

@Marcuspdm How will you be having it cooked?

No time for hanging around, it’s my gotcha day and there is steak waiting for me 🤣

@pitcarity We try to get out every day rain or shine and with the pup arriving shortly the option of not doing so will be removed! The only benefit of this current weather is it is quite warm and with the price of heating oil, this is a welcome change!

@StanleyLakeland Very impressive. So what to put in it?

‘Nouncement…the wall is finished and Mum loves it phew 😥 Planting up next week. my work here is done 💖

@pitcarity Hard to beat even on a 'dowly day.

@LeeHurstComic They already have - run by volunteers, no DEI, I've looked at their accounts and they're exactly what you are talking about. veteranscharity.org.uk

@StanleyLakeland Well, that took a while!

Here’s yesterday wall update 😃 and a where’s Stanley bonus 😆 No wall progress today we’re having a family day out 😆 #ThursdayAdventure 🥳 Have a great day pals 💖 #WheresStanley difficulty level easy peasy for my lovely true fans 😆😂

Butler here. We are busy setting up the household for the imminent arrival of Miss Ada Bolhaus-de-Welsh. The first thing to go up is the family portrait of Ada's Mother, Grandmother and Uncle Nigel. We will install a separate portrait of the family patriarch @ChukkaBennett
