(3.) FAMILY FARM; Bringing up children on a farm gives them a
wonderful upbringing and
appreciation for life, for death, for
nature, for fresh air, for
entrepreneurship, for a sense of
adventure. (4) ROMANCE; There’s plenty of opportunities for romance with picnics and
afternoon tea in the field. What could be
nicer than sitting in the sun in a grassy
field using a tyre as a backrest. With so
many of Irish farms being fragmented and
the distance back to the farmhouse for lunch being too far for a tractor drive or a
walk, it means there is ample scope for
plenty of picnics (romantic or otherwise).
Another benefit is your orienteering skills
improve drastically as you mange to find
where he is in the ‘side bank of the left field to the top quarry field’. (6) BIRTH; there is nothing as special as seeing a tiny calf or lamb
struggle on shaky legs to its
mother’s udder, particularly if it is
after a tough birth. No matter how
many times you experience it, it
will always give you a special glow.
