The rest of the year

[reallife]

I wonder (and I bet some of you lot know) what the GFL team do for the rest of the year?  How many FTEs they have working on it all year?  Do they have a set of offices at the farm ?

Dairy farming is pretty big I've heard.

Booking and planning an event takes an entire year.

Or longer! Pretty sure at least some of the work for the following year must get underway before the current year’s festival even begins.

I may be wrong but I thought gfl had an office in shepton mallet all year round

And then if the festival reverse back within itself, it completely disappears, and for a year! Then it 'pops' out again a year later. But what does it do for a year when it's 'inside' itself? One has to wonder?

Oh my Lord, but I wasn't mentally prepared for that! That really did come up out of the rising sun. You will / may be happy to know that that 'hurt'. 

Fortunately I've got a mate (Angus) who lives in Aberdeen, who has helped me through this shock to the system. He's a fine bloke, a little down on his luck and lives in a bedsit. In the winter months he says that it's friesian in there. He's there because his mom is a cow, and threw him out of the house. Bullocks!? No,. it's the truth, I tells ya!! You might want to read that last bit again, because it'll have flown pasteurize before you knew it. Oh my word, but that last one was harsh, wasn't it!? Fucking hell, but where do we gop from from there!?

Ayrshire, I'd better stop writing soon. I;'m not sure if anybody is still reading anyway. Has anybody even read 'anything, I wonder. Butter be off then. I suppose I cud stay a little longer, but that curd cause problems for some.

I know, I know, you've herd it all before. Well, the thing is, when one is working on the hoof, mistakes can be made.

That's it. Burger me, even I have had enough.
