Summary
Neil Heseltine, a farmer from Hilltop Farm in Malham, shares insights into the daily challenges and responsibilities of farm life. He emphasizes the importance of being attentive to livestock, particularly during adverse weather conditions, and the difficulty of taking holidays due to the need for knowledgeable caretakers. Heseltine describes the unique characteristics of his herd of Belted Galloways, which thrive outdoors year-round, and discusses the ongoing care required for both cattle and sheep.
He reflects on the generational connection to the land, noting the positive aspects of farming despite its demanding nature. Heseltine expresses a desire to farm in harmony with nature, suggesting a return to traditional practices that benefit the environment. While he does not pressure his daughter to take over the farm, he would support her decision if she chooses to continue the family legacy.

We spend a lot of time on our screens, looking at things that aren’t always strictly necessary – and might sometimes be a bit secret. And yet we are, of course, 'so busy'...
After seeing them only a few seconds, certain people prompt us to dream of spending forever with them. Crushes are sweet and deeply romantic, in a way. They are also an immature form of madness we should outgrow.
We are holding a three-day conference in San Francisco from the 23-25 March 2018. We'll be covering the most important ideas we teach as well as building friendship and a sense of community. It'll be fun and educational.Uploaded 15-01-18MORE SCHOOL OF LIFEWatch more films on The School of Life in our playlist: http://bit.ly/2g0YFKqSOCIAL MEDIAFeel free to follow us at the links below:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theschooloflifelondon/ X: https://twitter.com/TheSchoolOfLife Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theschooloflifelondon/ CREDITSProduced in collaboration with: Reflective Filmshttp://www.reflectivefilms.co.uk/ #TheSchoolOfLife Learn more about your ad choices.

Loving someone isn’t enough to guarantee we will know how to care for them. For this, we need to learn to understand the distinctive way in which they need our love to manifest itself in order for it to feel real to them.
We hear a lot about how to speak well in public, but very little about how to learn the equally important art of listening properly to others.
