Diary of a Dairy Maid!

Nest time you open that posh packet of butter spare a thought for the Dairy Maid!
That's me by the way, to top up my earnings I'm doing a part time Christmas job at the local dairy farm! It's a mere 5 minute walk from my front door, I only work in 3 hour shifts and it's one of those lovely mindless jobs where you don't have to think you just do! Hygiene is a must which apparently means I have to have more than one bath a year, tsk!
Yesterday I had to hand wrap and pack Goats Butter, yes some butters are still hand made and wrapped, and today we did the first run for Sparks and Mencer Organic Butter, Have a whole day of it tomorrow, well 2, 3 hour shifts with an hour break in between so the dogs still get their 3 walks a day!
So if you eat any butter over the crimble period it could have been hand wrapped and packed by me, and yes I did wash my hands!

Thats great Becky , maybe you should put a little b in the butter and when i find it ill know its yours mate and be safe in the knowledge you had more than one bath this year and washed your mits ,xxdk

Around this time of year it always helps to have a few extra pennies. Sounds like not too bad a job as well. Mind you I'm intrigued to know how they check your bathtimes

I wondered about that too Losos.
Sure Becky will enlighten us... orperhaps not .....
The extra money will come in handy . Good luck and enjoy. Told you you were such a versatile person

Sounds great, I love the feeling of making things and seeing what you have produced at the end of a shift. x

We did 400kg in 1.5 hours today lol!

Instead of the b that dk suggested, what about a small poodle to sign your work lol!

The speed I have to pack I'd be hard pushed to get that done lol!

Gosh I did't know you still handpacked butter, sorry this is late was mooching the forum.lol.xxxxxxxx

We are a tiny little outfit lol! But we do stuff for Waitrose, M&S and possibly some Tesco's but mainly for small independent companies!
