And all of a sudden you're noticing the things around you.

You're noticing cycles and the seasons and rain.

When you're living in the city, rain is a nuisance and it's cold and revolting.

But when you've got a farm or even if you've got a garden, you think, "Oh gee, rain. That's fantastic. How good to have that water." You are looking for signs that the grass is growing.

It is such a thrill at calving time when those new little calves appear. It's very grounding.

And I love the connection between what we're doing with our farm animals and the grass and also what we're doing with the nature around us. So having that connection between the biodiversity and the farm, they're not mutually exclusive. They both work together.
