The dancing farmer!
Hi, I’m Julian. I work on my dad’s farm in Scotland and I love it. I’m always outdoors, and I never feel under pressure like lots of my friend in their jobs. I often work on my own but I find it relaxing. I can always talk to the animals when I feel lonely! Do you know pigs are as intelligent as humans? What I find really difficult is getting up early every morning, especially in winter. I’m really bad at it and mum has to scream up the stairs to get me out of bad.
I like being a farmer but a good social life is also important. During a week I can’t stay up late but things are different at the weekends. My college friends all live and work in the city about half an hour away and I visit them most weekends. We go clubbing because I love music and dancing. I’m fascinated by all types of dancing and I live my Saturday nights out. As you can imagine, it’s very different to my life during the week.
I often think about doing something different .I know I’m good at farming but perhaps I have got other skills that I don’t know about. I’m not bored with farming at all but I love learning new things and I learn fast. I’m watching a great TV series at the moment called Faking it, in which people have a month to change their lives completely. I don’t tell many people this, but do you know what I want to train to be? A professional dancer!
