Barnsley to Pescadero

I may call Richard Branson soon, to request a small, but luxurious, direct flight from Old Royston to SFO. Tony, followed by Andrew, one half of my fabulous house designers, has now been followed by my father, Laurence. He’ll overlap for a week with Tony, who returns in May. There is a Busy List for my dad, and Tony. They are wonderful at making farm structures, and competent in finishing the thousands of small jobs – picking up basil, chicken feed, the new broom.. This week’s building involves three new “chicken tractors” for our hens. Now that the pastures are dry, we’re moving these mobile hen palaces out to the field. Designed by Three-Fingered Bil, they are both spacious, five-star accommodation and mini-Alp play structures for the goats.
As you may not know, the village of Royston, Barnsley, south Yorkshire, is picturesque and has a very successful nearby soccer team. So we’re lucky to have them!

Hi Dee
Love the site and the blogs! I remember your 80’s hair!!! I’m now a special needs teacher but not in the wonderful Yorkshire but in Northamptonshire… too near to London but hey ho! I am with a wonderful man who I have been with for 8 years and later this year we will be driving a car from Northamptonshire - Banjul in the Gambia taking in France, Spain, Morrocco, Western Sahara, Mauritiania, Sengal and finally the Gambia and Banjul. Once we get to Banjul the car will be handed over to the local rotary club and auctioned for local worthy charities. Can’t wait!! Glad the farm is doing well and that you are still the same Dee that I remember from all those years ago as a kid growing up. Take Care, Sall in the UK
