I leave at lunchtime today. No, you are not coming Tima. Put those dogs down and behave yourself. 
So I will do a fast change after the lunchtime baby feeding and off we go.
You and I – to Portland Oregon. I have never been to that part of the country before so I am looking forward to seeing it. Naturally I will be blogging every day. We will see what we will see. At the very least it will be a bit warmer. But rainy evidently. My plane gets in at dusk there so hopefully there is still enough light for a few shots as we cross the country. It is a four and a half hour flight.
There is a list on the kitchen board for baby feeding. And Jake is back to run the weekend. The Dutchies are looking settled. 
Poppy is bonkers as usual. Sheila is already sulking in her room
and the chicks are being watched closely by Boo.
who are watching him closely back.
Tomorrow is the conference but there is a two hour difference between here and Oregon so I will be up super early. Plenty of time to bring you up to date from my lovely hotel room.
Good Morning. Thank you to all of you who have already signed up to listen in on the talk for Press Publish. Live streaming will be interesting. I have had to change a few of my photographs at the last minute but you have seen them all before so that won’t make much difference to you.
After this weekend we will settle down to some good solid farming and writing about it.
Have a lovely day.
Your friend on the farm and in a plane,

Good Luck my friend I will be thinking of you!
Celi – have a grand one!! Take Boo n Timi with you for a grand entrance on to the stage!!!
It always amazes me how vast America is. A four hour flight from the UK would take me to Tenerife! Good luck and you go girl! And have a safe journey. x
The Pacific Northwest is beautiful, I wish I was going too. I hope you have a little time to explore. There is a lot of great food places and amazing good carts. Good luck have a great trip.

PS no geese yet! They must have made a pit stop.
Good luck, not that you’ll need it, you’ll do very well. Now yo check out how to listen in.
Good Luck, will be there listening! Hopefully Tima and Tane will get themselves pregnant while you are away 🙂 Laura
Happy and safe travels!
All the best!!!
Jake has the Farmy in hand, we are watching from the wings. Go forth and knock their socks off. Enter Celi, stage left, to riotous applause. I can’t watch the live streaming, so I hope someone will do the YouTube thing some time. Such a shame you can’t do a show and tell, with Tima, Boo, Marcel, Sheila, Elsie and Godot to make life exciting.
So excited for you and those bloggers who will get to see and hear you speak, and for us on the farmy, as now we can hear and hopefully see you too. Have a fabulous time!!!! xo
I’m sure they would be impressed if you took Tima with you to support your talk 😉
Woohoo! Just signed up to listen! Thanks so much for the link, C. Wishing you a wonderful trip!! 😊
Safe travels! Enjoy your time away and I am eager to see that area too……
Best wishes for a good trip & a successful weekend. I will be at my post at the Earth Science museum where I work Saturdays, so I’ll have to miss the live streaming. I join Kate in hoping someone will capture it for youtube. I would love to see & hear your talk. All of us will look forward to reports the usual way. Bon Voyage again! Judith
Excited for you tomorrow…set and ready to watch and listen 🙂
