This week it has been good to get back to normal after several days at The Great Yorkshire Show. Although tired we have a sense of elation as Ben and an Abbiene cow were champion Holsteins for the second year.
Well, we wanted rain and now we arguably have a little too much. Combines in Cheshire have hardly turned a wheel.
It's showtime. We finally ticked the Highland Show off our wish list. We have never been before, but with the Golden Shears being hosted there this year, coupled with Sam shearing in Scotland, it seemed the perfect time to do it.
I was lucky enough to be among those invited to attend St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh to witness the King being presented with the Honours of Scotland (our Crown jewels), and it was a truly memorable experience.
Last week saw the NFU Cymru week-long campaign and celebration of Welsh Food and Farming.
This month has disappeared in a blur of work, time with family and farm viewings.
As the tabloid press are fond of saying - 'what a scorcher'.
