It is a beautiful, crisp, December morning. we have had our first covering of frost, leaving puddles of water iced upon the roads, and you can hear the grass snapping as our two kittens Dreamer and Smokey prance around the garden.
Despite having to amend my website and update it due to losing all of my data 4 weeks ago, despite the fact that our single farm payment hasn't been made, nor our ESA payment, due to the fact that the cartology unit in Llandrindod shut down for up dates 3 weeks before last Christmas and still hasn't opened again yet, despite the fact that my MP Roger Williams will again phone me today so I can complain bitterly about the last two problems, I just wanted to share with you the beautiful view outside my office window........................................................

Yes............... it really is worth it........................
