    • A story behind some models. This was a special edition of the LCN fair in Zwolle.(For those who don't know it. And therefore do not know the model). The first year I went there (2007) I never missed a year after that. My first 1/64 ERTL model. Found another one the year later and decided I wanted all 1/64 Fords. I'm already well on my way. With this model the "real" collecting of models started instead of toys.  
    • Early Summer Update Generally a quieter time on the farm with just spraying to keep on top of, which seems to be a mission with the wind and heavy showers. Most of the wheat has had its ear wash except the later drilled, spring barley has had its T1 and is looking well. The beans are ok but it’s cold for June and things need to warm up for them to kick on, the linseed is a mixed bag, after drilling we had another 30mm of rain with toppled the river over again so half the fields were under water….again, but only for a day or two. So half of it established well, the other half is there but behind and patchy. Local Deere salesman from Hunt Forest Group has been in the office a lot recently so not sure what’s going on there at the moment, maybe a Kramer? Alan has been down with the digger after planning permission was granted for a small multipurpose shed. The plan was to take down the old tip pit shed which housed the drill, peck out the concrete ramp beside the grainstore which acted as a one way system during harvest, this making the yard a bit bigger to house the new shed and a purpose built wash bay for machinery which we have always struggled with. The project has gone well over the last couple months, concrete has been laid, and drainage slats installed for the wash bay. Just waiting for the steels to arrive now, in the meantime we have dug out a turning circle right at the top of the farm past the grainstore for trailers to turn and come back down to reverse onto the tip pit, since we have no one way system now. It worked out well with burying all the concrete that was pecked out from the ramp underneath and then we will put some road planings on top. The combine header has been down in Dorchester for some upgrades ahead of this season, which incudes the lighting kit, nice to have that back now and Claas Western have been out just going through the combine making sure we haven’t missed anything. The countdown is on now.
    • why cant they do the class foragers with grass headers on them, even as separate items so you can choose what you want, the euro guys must do grass as well .
    • various bits of card in different shapes, widths, lengths.... for Wheels, chassis, templates and spares for when the knife inevitably goes on its own voyage. In particular a pile of bits that it would be helpful if the accumulated dust on top of it could assist in some way with some the precision folding required.
    • Strangely that 60s NH is growing on me, don't know if it because it is a genuinely different design.
