As we closed the gate on the final field of combinable crops, there was a sense of relief. All our crops are safely in the barns, but we shall not dwell on the fact they are not exactly bursting at the seams.
Another year gone and onto the next. Most fields are prepared for drilling next year’s crops. Let us hope all the costs and effort entailed will be rewarded; it certainly hasn’t been this year.
Times are changing just like the weather pattern, so we must change our routines and cropping. What we can’t do is doggedly push water uphill whilst telling ourselves that we have always done things this way and so shall continue in the same vein.
So, we have less arable crops and more grass, herbal leys, and winter bird seed crops. This latter crop has looked splendid with flowers of many colours including sunflowers which were spectacular when in full bloom. Many bunches found their way into the house as we celebrated my grandson’s christening.
Sunflowers make me smile and clearly, they have the same effect upon others as they lighten the mood. We journeyed to our beautiful Norman church which nestles in the heart of the farm, across the fields. A bunch of kids and some adults were bundled into the back of our ancient pickup. There was much laughter and gaiety as we proceeded across fields and down Cow Lane, (along which as a child I walked our dairy cows in for milking), to where we ended up in the field adjacent to the churchyard.
I think Father Christopher was somewhat surprised as they all piled out and skipped up the path, past my parent’s grave, and into the church, where he kindly conducted a very special christening service.
At last, the true character of Peter Mandelson and his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein have been exposed. Not only is the man dodgy, but he is also shown to be somewhat grubby. He and his mentor Tony Blair, another Champaign socialist, are the very worst type of labour politicians. It is all about ‘do as I say, not as I do’. They wrap themselves in a silver lining giving off an aura of being competent and important as they fill their gold lined coffers, whilst pulling the wool over the public’s eyes.
So too has Keir Starmer been exposed as being incompetent, dishonest and a very poor judge of character or understanding of the level of openness and decency expected by the public. Starmer really does believe everyone outside his immediate circle of left-wing activists, are halfwits unable to recognise when there is a fox in the hen house. Angela Raynor was a prime case and keep your eye on Rachel Reeves who is doing her best to completely screw up the economy.
It’s all about to get worse: the growing black hole in Reeves’s public finances mean that another round of crippling tax rises is a certainty in the Budget. They will further dampen what is left of Britain’s traditional spirit, and threaten a doom loop of higher tax, lower growth, even higher tax and so on.
Let us hope they and all those who have knowingly supported these people who have done all they can to undermine Great Britain financially, and militarily, and by destroying our industries, our energy providers, employment opportunities, and by leaving the door wide open to encourage the invasion of dangerous Muslim young men.
They come from countries which have no affiliation to Great Britain or our Christian culture. They disappear below the radar as have millions over the past 20 years. They are abiding their time and will invariably strike when they are directed to do so by their masters. They are arriving illegally and should be collected up off the beaches and ports and transported directly back to their last port of call. No ifs or buts.
The steady flow of conservative MPs, former MPs and members walking away from the Tory party towards Reform is gathering pace. They are not leaving the conservative party; it has left them as it increasingly leans to the left, opposes free speech, becomes increasingly woke and is deeply fractured below the water line.
Central Office is up to its old tricks of undermining local associations and ignoring the advice from those with their feet on the ground who know the facts, know the individuals, and are better at identifying the best candidates to take on the opposition at elections.
The underhand way Central Office recently interfered with the election to select the conservative candidate to stand in next year’s election for Mayor of Sussex, was as far as I am concerned the final straw. Backing a candidate with a poor record of service and who supported Sussex police’s policy of allowing trans men to strip search young girls and women, was totally irresponsible and unacceptable.
