Hello everyone, this is truly a hard message to post to you all.

But after some emotional talks & some extremely careful thoughts & consideration, we have made the decision that on October 31st 2026.

We shall be closing our doors at BHF FARM SHOP for the final time at 2pm.

This is due to a rise in costs & the constant battle with the prices at the Supermarkets ( Which unfortunately as a sole trader you will never win ) which has understandably had a knock on affect in regards customer flow.

It's very hard for small businesses to make enough money to cover costs. I enjoyed going there to buy some treats. If you have a Farm shop near you, try and make time for a visit.

Catch ya later. Toodle pip. ilona

Only words

 Half way through the month. Let's have a roundup of the best troll comments which have winged their way onto my screen. I can't be bothered to reply to them. 

I think you don't know the meaning of stupid,... do you feel stupid most of the time ilona? I suspect so which is whyy you shoot people down,.. you're sad,.

You have more than one troll,.. its not the same person always,.. I've been away on holiday, bitch face

Haha your stupidity stinks beurk.

"Where's the off button for this?"

Your posts are getting a bit boring…how many photos of bin bags do we really need?

Nobody wants to comment on your silly blog. So seem so frustrated , what is your poor life about ? Hate, racism. Judging others, get in an old truxk drink your beer and look at young men you never had . An old girl.

Why are people saying you are such a good owner? You let his fur get so matted the poor cat had to be SEDATED to have all the mats removed? A long haired cat needs to be brushed to keep its fur is good condition and they had to bathe him. Sorry but I am not sure I would have returned the cat to you.

You should be ashamed of yourself. You have neglected that cat. A responsible owner would never allow a cat to get as matted as that!

Today I got the bus to town and walked the five and a half miles back home. I picked a bit of litter along the way. I kept to the road coming back. There has been a lot of rain and I didn't want to walk through muddy fields. 

In town I went to the 20 21 Arts Centre. There is a new exhibition which is for one week only. It finishes tomorrow. Pictures and a video will come along shortly. 

Have a good weekend. Toodle pip.   ilona. 

Free sofa - Collect at Flixborough LOL

The half bag that I picked yesterday was filled up today, on Flixborough Industrial Estate. Such a lot of litter here. It was 4pm, it didn't take long to fill another bag. 

I found another fly tip. This has been a notorious black spot for people dumping rubbish in the past. It's at the entrance to a lane which goes to a chicken farm. There is a gate across but it is mostly left open.  A sofa in several large pieces. 

They put a camera on it a while ago which stopped a lot of it. Looks like it has started again. I wonder if the camera is real, maybe it's a dummy. 

My bags awaiting collection. 

I have to say that the Council are getting better at picking up my bags, and clearing away fly tips. That pile of recyclable rubbish I reported yesterday has been collected today. I am chuffed about that. 

My dinner tonight. Avocado, rice, and mushrooms. Very nice. 

Let's see what Friday brings. My Medical Centre has sent me a text. They are inviting people to come along tomorrow if they need help with the NHS App. I think I might go. You know what I think about Apps. 😁😝😟 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona

Your Indoor Walking journey starts now

How much do you usually walk in a day?

Choose your focus

Looks like you’re a perfect fit for DayClass ... time to crush your goals. Based on our historical data for women in their 70s

Start seeing results in just one week and keep losing fat steadily.

Your BMI is 19.7 which is considered normal

You’re starting from a great place! Now we’ll use your BMI to create a program tailored to your needs.

Got it! And what’s your goal weight?

An estimate will do — you can easily change this later.

At this point I got stuck. What a faff. I didn't get to the part where they want your card details. My advice, don't get sucked in. Paying for an app will not make you thinner, fatter, more mobile, or happier. That's the work you have to do for yourself. 

Live your life as you see fit. Stuff your face with junk food if you like, but be mindful of the consequences. 

Take responsibility for your health, don't hand it over to someone else to manage it for you. What you put in your mouth is your responsibility. You can be a happy fat person, or a happy thin person. 

Stop following others and do your own thing. Sort your head out first, and your body will be fine. There isn't a quick fix. Don't be a pin cushion.  

Believe in yourself. Join like minded friends locally in a class if you want to. Do the weekly weigh in if you want to. But never drift along with the crowd. Be a leader not a follower. 

Lunch for me today was an avocado on peanut buttered toast, topped with grated cheese. Now I am going out to fill that bag of litter I started yesterday.
