Alan's Farm moving notice

She only appeared on Britain’s Got Talent last Saturday night — but the modern world of technology means Susan Boyle is already a global star.
Unemployed Susan, from West Lothian in Scotland, has now received interview requests from as far away as Australia and the United States.
She even featured on America’s prestigious NBC Today Show, where presenter Kathie Lee Gifford was moved to tears by the performance.
The host was forced to reach for a sock - being used for the next segment — to dry her eyes after watching the emotional clip.
And although Susan has only made it through the first audition, she is already being compared to previous Britain’s Got Talent winner opera star Paul Potts.
Britain’s Got Talent judge Simon Cowell is reportedly already lining up a record deal for her, and she has helped boost the song’s popularity.
Cast recordings of the track have entered the official midweek singles chart and the iTunes chart.
Susan is already the bookmakers’ favourite to win the talent show.
Earlier this week, Boyle revealed that she was battling deep personal anguish as she sang the track from the West End stage show Les Miserables.
It was the first time she had sung in public since the death of her mother two years ago.
“Because of the bereavement, I had decided to give up singing,” she said.
“Mum was my life. I cared for her. But she urged me to enter this show as she said I had a fantastic voice.
“So this year, I thought I’d go for it, and I can’t believe what has happened. I hope my mum and dad are looking down on me — they’ll be so proud.’
And her quiet approach has won her fans in Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher.
The Hollywood couple apparently spent last Saturday night curled up in front of YouTube and were blown away by Susan’s performance of the song.
Kutcher, 31, posted a link on social networking website Twitter to Susan’s singing on the talent show and wrote: “This just made my night.”
Moore, 46, wrote a Tweet in reply saying: “You saw it made me teary!

I DREAMED A DREAM
There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting.
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting.
There was a time ...then it all went wrong...
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hopes were high and life worth living,
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid,
When dreams were made and used and wasted.
There was no ransom to be paid,
No song unsung, no wine untasted.
But the tigers come at night,
With their voices soft as thunder,
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dreams to shame
He slept a summer by my side.
He filled my days with endless wonder,
He took my childhood in his stride,
But he was gone when autumn came.
And still I dream he'll come to me
And we will live the years together!
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather.
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream
I dreamed.
