We Had Big Plans For This Year But It Has All Been Scuppered And We Are To Lose Almost Everything.

[RATTER15]

Since we have been on this farm we have been battling our Landlady for a contract. All the terms and conditions were laid out but due to time restraints we couldn't wait for a contract before moving in.

Yesterday she arrived with our contract, it is so flawed and just totally not what we had originally agreed to, if it wasn't so devastating to us it would have been laughable. The rent has jumped up by £250 per month, We apparently are not now permitted to keep animals on our farm and the lodge that we specifically took on for letting and the "Animal Assisted Therapy" we are now not allowed to let.

The land that originally was part of our agreement has been reduced dramatically. The track up to the farm has deteriorated to such a degree due to recent storms and rainfall is starting to get dangerous and the landlady say she cant do anything about it until the summer. It has all gotten too much.

Carakeel been quite poorly over the last few days and was admitted to hospital, the ambulance had difficulty getting up the track and the driver was not pleased.

So we have thrown in the towel, we have pretty much lost everything, all the animals are now going to be sold and we have to find somewhere else to live promptly, we have lost a lot of money that was invested in this venture, we can retrieve a little by selling up what we bought but we will still lose thousands.

We are both naturally devastated.

We are fighters and we will come through this I'm sure, at the end of the day we still have each other and that is what really matters.
