This issue of The Journal sees a new writer for Parlour Patter, thank you to Cheryl Thomas for her contribution for the past 12 months. We now move to Bridgewater, Somerset, and Julie Reed from Eastside Farm, will be taking over for the next six issues. Julie runs 200 cows under the Yardhayes prefix with husband Chris and son Adam. I'm not sure how I got asked to write Parlour Patter for a year, please don't be expecting any fancy big words, I am a farmer and not a writer. I agreed to the job because I think it is good to put yourself out there and do things that are out of your comfort zone - although I am questioning my thinking while I write my first article - otherwise you just get stuck doing the same things.
