A farmer’s life
David Ackroyd is a farmer and he loves his job, but it’s not easy. He gets up at 5.00 in the
morning, summer, autumn, winter and spring, because he has lots of work to do, and it’s
sometimes difficult for him and his wife Jane to have a holiday.
David is outside from morning to evening. He has 350 cows, and he milks them at 6 am
and at 6 pm every day. ‘I love the fresh air’, he says. ‘I don’t like jobs in offices. That’s not
for me. It often rains here, but that’s not a problem. But I don’t like the snow and ice we
sometimes have in January and February because it’s very cold for me and it’s cold for the
cows, and they are sometimes sick.’
David works seven days a week. His wife, Jane, often helps with the work on the farm.
Jane also studies at college, so she sometimes works in the evening. ‘Jane enjoys her college
study. She goes to bed at midnight when she has college work to do. I don’t,’ says David.
g
‘I go to bed at 10 pm.’
