Dear everyone

This morning I spent a very jolly hour chatting to Matt Kitson of Driftwood Cinema. For a couple of hours a week he takes over Wigtown Community Radio with Desert Island Flicks. Each guest picks their top ten films and he has a chat to them about them and their life. This week he asked me to take part*. 

Matt had done a good job of cyberstalking researching things about me so, of course, my blog came up. When he asked about it I said, "it's really a love letter. It's a love letter to Ivie, to his family and to his friends. They've all embraced me and included me and only occasionally laugh at me when I've asked a really stupid question" (like the one that prompted the name of the blog).

So I wanted to let you all know how much I enjoy being part of the gang.

Ivie's big 5-0

Before I moved to D&G, one of my friends laughed and said, "you'll probably end up living with a farmer." I thought she was wrong for so many reasons:

• I figured farmers ate meat and two veg for every meal and I quite like noodles.
• I assumed they all wanted to get hitched and I've been there, done that with no desire to do it again.
• I thought that farmers preferred their partners to know stuff about cows and sheep and crop rotation (I didn't know about spread rates then but if I had I'd have added that to the list).

Luckily I was wrong for so many reasons. 

• Ivie is a lot more adventurous in his tastes, some that even require chopsticks. 
• He has absolutely no plans to make an honest woman of me. 
• He couldn't care less that I barely know the difference between the NFU and the NFL.

I love the small part I play in Ivie's farming life but what I love most is the big part the farming world now plays in mine. ♡♡♡
