    Hi Adrian. You must have one of the cleanest and tidiest farms in Ireland. Your tractors and machinery are immaculate and you take good care of everything including your tools (you do when you have to pay for them yourself). Your hard working and your parents and family must be extremely proud of you and the farm is in good hands. Thank you and your family for posting regular videos of your daily life as this is also hard work and time consuming editing videos. Let’s hope the winter is kind to you. Good health 💪 Kind regards John 👍😃

    Have a great day!
