Relayed from back at home, confirmation of a 'P I' - personal identifier for agricultural activities after sending of a Creg1 form and a follow-up phone call with the Rural Payments Agency for a County Parish holding number and a few other details.
Although the relatively small acreage means I'm unlikely to be bestowed with grants as a countryside custodian, it's an essential bit of administration if I make an application under the English Woodland Grant Scheme before the September 2010 deadline.
A phone call to the Environment Agency to set up automated flood warning messages by text and email (their website is easy for householders and business to register online, but landowners without a postal address get transferred to a regional office to clarify the details).
Meanwhile a bit of research into seed mixes for meadows - I've ordered a small pack of seed to trial of a traditional Yorkshire meadow mix, but I'm considering a larger mix from MAS Seeds or Manor Oaks
