Oh hard agree!! She’s wonderful. This is wonderful. Brilliant video too.

No. That would be Slow Horses.

Well yes that’ll be the clincher. Whether they’ve thought about it. (Many won’t have. Like no doubt the Mulligans) #TheArchers

2/2 ‘their death. When their spouse then dies, their allowance will also then be utilised and £1m will pass to the next generation tax free. In short, through forward planning, both allowances can be utilised.’

Auntie Jean @auntiejean1.bsky.social · 18h

Doubt the be caught by the new IHT rules. Just a 20% tax on anything over £1m. ‘However, by amending the farmer’s will to leave at least £1m of qualifying assets to the next generation, their allowance will be utilised, and part of the farm will pass to the next generation tax free on 1/2

I think they keep it kinda vague. So we can suddenly find ourselves with a farm / family/situation we weren’t aware of!! Like the number of bedrooms saga in each property!. #TheArchers

Auntie Jean @auntiejean1.bsky.social · 21h

Yes indeed. Or maybe any kids might take it over. Depends how interested they are I guess. #TheArchers.

Auntie Jean @auntiejean1.bsky.social · 22h

Yes it was difficult since we’d not heard of it for many years to know it was actually 120 acres!! #TheArchers

Auntie Jean @auntiejean1.bsky.social · 23h

Lost and distressed beavers much the preferred course!! Daveed’s indignation would be a picture!

By the sound of it she has dementia? Confused, upset and in pain. Poor lady. There was a lady, a former head teacher, at my mum’s nursing home. She had advanced dementia. She thought she was communicating with you but was in reality just screaming in your face. All day. 😢

Did he have his shotgun and mistook him for a badger? #TheArchers.

Auntie Jean @auntiejean1.bsky.social · 23h

2/2 Maybe try and narrow down one that would be more interested in that kind of thing.

His biggest problem has been using photos or accounts of WW2 as copyright is difficult to get. Not impossible but he’s had to work hard at it.

My husband is getting his book published by a publisher. But it’s a specialised subject (although tbf so is #TheArchers!) in his case military history. He just sent his manuscript to various publishers over a period of time. 1/2

Yeh I don’t thin either the council or the ag college could fund it. It’d be a minimum of £1.2m. In fact who (apart from Justin) could afford it in ambridge? Unless the mulligan relatives rent it out? #TheArchers

Auntie Jean @auntiejean1.bsky.social · 23h

They could get buffalo. I mean given the fuss about the beaver’s can you imagine the fuss about buffalo!

Oh. Wait!!! It should be one a beaver sanctuary! For lost and distressed beavers!!! #TheArchers

Well exactly. They’d have to do it differently. Which in borcestershire is a big ask!! #TheArchers.

Auntie Jean @auntiejean1.bsky.social · 1d

Oooo. Excellent idea. Go to the top of the class! #TheArchers

Auntie Jean @auntiejean1.bsky.social · 1d

Less than say 50tob75 acres? But still difficult to make a living from even 120 these days. It would be better incorporated into Brookfield

Although I suppose a market garden might work. Or someone doing something different. But it seems to me these days you need a bigger set up.

Auntie Jean @auntiejean1.bsky.social · 1d

Right. So the s/l is ‘who will buy it. Although is it a farm or just a small holding? #TheArchers. Difficult to make a living on less than say 75 acres I would’ve thought.

Have the mulligans got kids? #TheArchers.

I mean nothing exciting ever happens here. That’s two things in two weeks! Last week a lady walking over the crossing got her foot stuck, fell and broke her hip. Just as she was lying there the barriers went down 😳. Que a car driver dragging her to safety. Now this!! I’ll need a week off.

Auntie Jean @auntiejean1.bsky.social · 1d

Fire just out of pic!!
