Without going into details, an unexpected illness has forced us to close the barn doors for the final time. Everyone’s ok and on the mend but it has been difficult over the past few months to keep the momentum going.
We would like to thank our readers for staying the course, your kind comments and, of course the generous donations of silage that were greatly appreciated. This was always just an amusing diversion borne from years listening to The Archers, and an opportunity to occasionally vent our frustrations at the storylines and characters, and we were more than a little surprised to find that others shared our views.
You have all been great and we’ll miss your witty and supportive comments. The blog will remain dormant but available for the continued amusement of future generations.
Take care,
Neil and Peter.
Thanks so much for your efforts over the years. All very best wishes for things to improve in the health department. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for all of your fun posts. You gave me so many laughs over the years. I will miss your posts so much! I stopped listening to the Archers a few months ago. But kept reading.
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best for the future.
Ellie
Sorry to see you go, hope your health problems are resolved. Thank you so much for all your fun comments. Ruth will forever be Rooooth to me. Every best wish for the future, take care. XXX
ReplyDeleteDear Neil and Peter,
ReplyDeleteThis is the end of an era! I'm sorry to hear you've had some health problems and I hope you are on the mend, but I will miss you and your blog and your witty - and on occasion naughty - comments so much...
Like Ellie, I stopped listening to The Archers for a while during the pandemic and decided to revisit all the available episodes (going back to 2009) instead. I have now reached November 2020 and I'm listening for the first time to Alice's pregnancy problems, but all that time your blog kept me in touch with all the latest developments in Ambridge. It's been such a godsend. It was like we were part of a small but select community. I cannot thank you too much for all the pleasure I got from it and for your patience and dedication.
All the best and, if it's not too much to ask, please post the odd message here to let us how you are getting on.
Take care! -Zoe
I have popped in and out because I gave up with the Archers when poor Nigel was written out on a whim of Vanessa Whitburn. Nigel possibly one of the nicest characters ever, how I miss him. And I'll miss you because I cannot bear to listen to the Archers and I suspect the BBCs farming advisor must be the easiest job ever because when is farming ever mentioned in any depth?
ReplyDeleteYou take good care and I wish you all the best.
Take care of yourselves. Thank you for all the great posts!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the time and effort you have put into this. It really has been an invaluable resource for many. Hope everything turns out well for you both.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. Hope you are ok. Keep safe. Its been a great ride with you.
ReplyDeleteNever trust an Archer.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to see this! I came to rely heavily on the blog whenever I was updating my Archers book and always enjoyed its witty take on events. Wishing you well and thanks very much for all your work.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this marvellous blog. Sorry to see you go, I've loved your witty posts and you'll be greatly missed. Take care and very best wishes to you.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I'm so sad to read this! Your blog has been brilliant and so funny. I will miss it a lot.
ReplyDeleteI hope that your health problems disappear for good and maybe one day you might pick up on it again but if not - thank you so much. All the best x
Oh, was so sorry to read this. I have had a lot of fun following the Ha Ha Archers, much better than listening to the prog itself! I shall really miss your witty comments. Here's hoping you both improve in health. Thanks for the laughs, you'll be missed!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that it is the end of the blog. It has given me much amusement over the years and all your efforts have been much appreciated. Best wishes for the future.
ReplyDeleteAw, so sorry to hear this!! Thanks for all your efforts, they really were above and beyond any sane call of duty.
ReplyDeleteAll the best to you both.
Fabulous, thanks for all the sardonic wit and faithful write ups, you've made us roar with recognition, and the relief that someone erudite can rescue the script
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to read this. I hope all is well with you and yours now. I stopped listening to the Archers when it became monologues and have just started again, so came back looking for your fun company and useful insights.
