“Leave the farm once a day , leave the parish once a week, leave the county once a month and leave the country once a year” A farmer client shared his father’s advice with me as he explored why he finds it difficult to justify “downtime” off the farm. We took to the my fav #GalwayBay today and left the “To Do” list on the farm and in the office for a while. A beautiful sunny day and feeling the better for it this evening! How’s your “DownTimeTable” ? #PressPause #Downtime #Farmers Dairy Women Ireland
