    It is very strange - on one hand you think the longer the better before the results come.
    Straight after that is the thought that a delay is the worst thing.

    I have to say that most farmers now in touch with me are confident that it is a false alarm. As the majority of these were directly affected by the last outbreak they do sound more positive than hopeful. With luck, then, it looks like a false alarm

    Scary so soon after the official all clear.

    I'm sure most farmers will be anxious and on the alert
    for any sign of the disease's return. After such a tremendous
    loss for them & such misery for their animals ...

    Any new reports that you've heard of from any another
    parts of Europe??

    When a chap has been through the worst gun battle
    That one could have lived through, has survived at all
    Then when a bang is heard it's forgivable
    If he expects the worse, hits the deck, and trembles

    And even if it was a firecracker that startled him
    (As we all hope it was in this case -
    no bullets, no burning now, please)
    We understand, we do, and hope for the best

    That someday a sick sheep will not bring thoughts of doom for the country
    That a first thought is not of death
    And that a firecracker could one day be
    Just harmless noise again.

    We hope with you.

    Carrie - whats even worse, they only cleared the last farm in the Lake District about 3 weeks ago!!! Farmers must be dreading/hoping what the results show. Their all in our thoughts.
