If you're not able to pay I could volunteer Big smile

Thanks,
Linda.

P.S....I live in the West Yorkshire area but am willing to travel.

......seems we live in quite an ageist society, shame really we have so much to offer and as you say no little ones to tie us down anymore.

Anyway just rung a farm in Skipton and offered my services to help with the lambing and the farmers wife sounded lovely and said she would speak to her husband....I do hope he says yes.

Well done Linda, what a lovely thread, say 'Hello' to *Shaun for me

That's one job I couldn't do even if I was fit enough, I'm allergic to sheep. *Shaun the Sheep' kids T V programme.

I hate this ageist thing when looking for jobs. When I was running pubs and employing people I always looked for those over 35 because I could almost guarantee reliability. Something that seems to be lost on employers these days. Anyway, good luck with the farm and lambing, and save a few chops for me.

Well done Loving it - Congrats on the college course and landing yourself some work in what is I imagine still a male dominated career. Good luck x
