I can imagine how odious this task was without the recourse to immediate hot water and hose systems that our friends have. My wife Sue was born and raised on a small dairy farm where everything was very labour intensive. So although she can still see all the hard work our friends put in daily, they still do have more facilities particularly in cleaning the milking parlour and all the equipment. It's great that you finally got to see the machine your grandmother used and to see it working too. A lot of these are now used as flower containers but with the ever increasing interest in locally produced quality food, particularly organic dairy, I think a lot of these machines will be pressed back into service. It is a mark of their robust manufacture that they will still function! All the very best from a rather chilly but sunny Normandie, AndyThe Green Leverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01335293795269368752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199850434720533796.post-82548547737320227222016-11-18T16:40:36.321+01:002016-11-18T16:40:36.321+01:00This moved me to tears, because it made me think o...This moved me to tears, because it made me think of my grandma (born 1903). She used to tell me about her odious childhood chore of cleaning the cream separator's discs on their dairy farm. I never knew what it looked like until now. I imagined it quite different. Thank you for writing about this.

We were rushing to get the film and post out at the same time and we must have overlooked those, in fact we even uploaded the film to the wrong channel and had to start all over. We have four more posts virtually finished, they just need the pictures and the links added. The trouble or rather the great good fortune is that we are having an Indian Summer here and are trying to get all the outside work finished before the onset of Winter. However, I'm sure we'll get at least one out in the next few days. Thanks again for your help and kind comments and all the very best from sunny Normandy Andy and SueThe Green Leverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01335293795269368752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199850434720533796.post-88941940153851600292015-10-11T10:31:52.258+02:002015-10-11T10:31:52.258+02:00I have noticed a couple of typos which appear abov...I have noticed a couple of typos which appear above and below the heading "The Normandy Cow". The first one is "ther" and the second is "the", both should read 'there'.<br /><br />"There is also still the possibility of getting spare parts and ther are people out there,<br /><br /><br />The Normandy Cow<br /><br />The is a great deal of information on the internet in particular from the Weston Price Foundation on the health implications of A2 v A1 milk".<br /><br />I really like reading your articles; you cannot produce them fast enough for me!
