If you thought that the blog posts coming from Velwell Orchard weren’t already boring enough… well think again! And read on…
Due to extensive rebellions over the time of morning coffee breaks on Volunteer Days, I’ve finally decided that my benign dictatorship is just not good enough for some people and therefore I am putting it to a vote. Currently, break time is at 11am, which is two hours before lunch.
Please vote below, the results will be released in the winter newsletter.
Feel free to enter the debate by making a comment.

11 sounds perfect.,,, you always know, it gets embedded in the system of the very farm and tea mug and cattle… calls on its own. even if one comes later… like me, i know i’m gonna start a perfect day with a tea break. how wonderful is that 🙂

Yesterday there was a lull in proceedings around 10.30, so it would have been the natural time to have a coffee. Having said that people arriving late would then have missed it. i for one work better once I’ve got some extra fuel on board and I do have breakfast before I come. Sadly , you will never please all of the people!

I’m voting for grumpy dictatorship because I like the phrasing. Also because I recognise myself in that.

The reason for having a set time for breaks is so that people know, who want to join us for breaks and lunch.

A couple of comments went somewhere else for some reason, here they are:
Robert: I don’t think that Jeremy is at all grumpy, and is being unfairly labelled;BUT, I would like the coffee break to be at 10.30, AND I wish to go with the Flow as well.
Anon: Is the poll anonymous?
Answer: Your email address wont be made public, but I know who you are!

I like to know when breaks are so we can come for them. 11am is fine for me if I actually turned up that is. xx

perhaps your dictatorship should be less benign ,then you might be less grumpy
