Emily Paul and her sister Georgie love working on their family dairy farm.
“You can’t beat being out here on a lovely day,” said Emily, surrounded by her “beautiful creatures”.
“It’s good for your physical health, good for your mental health,” the 24 year old added.
“Sure, it’s not a nine to five, it’s a whole lifestyle – but I wouldn’t be doing anything else.”
Georgie left home for a few years, working in another rural industry, horse-racing. She travelled the world, worked in America for a while, but in the end her cows drew her home.
“You just can’t beat it here, with the family, and cows, and farming, and just – this.”
The Mendip hills, that Georgie is showing me, are beautiful on the sunny day I visited the farm. But I wonder how many other 23-year-olds get up every day at five in the morning for the mucky, and vital, job of milking?
“It is an early start, and it’s every day,” Emily agrees.
“But you can’t beat sunrises either, they are beautiful too.”
