Sean when you are at the Suffolk Show if you have time go and the Ernest Doe stand Graham Goodwin (Goody) said come and say hello he will get you a cup of tea/coffee

that's good of him sounds like a good chap

Blimey that's a lot clothing must have a lot of kids

Well done sounds like you have some good stuff in your shop

Well done looks like you are busy and enjoying yourself as well

Another little job I have just done is this one ,my mate (spud) the one in the picture works for a company based not far from me so he asked if I would dig this out and cement it as his company would like it done as it leads out to a area that is designated for the smoking area and as you can see I have done it today got to go back next week and put up a thing like a bus shelter for staff to get in

Spent a day helping a couple of mates put up a steel staircase in a building up at Ipswich bit of a tight space to carry the heavy steel in but managed to get all the main bits up in a day and my mates have since been back and finished it

There is not as much kit get there like there used to be but still a good selection don't now if I am going this year yet see a bit nearer the time

Thanks for pictures Trigger there is a lot of nice models in there , your friends son has a very good lot on the shelves round the room

Don't now at this moment of shows at end of may but Suffolk Show is on 1st-2nd June at Ipswich then the Woolpit Steam Rally IP143JX is on 4-5th june I have not been to woolpit for several years now as normally over in france with Mr Reeve at the Chartres show but been told that there is several tractors there

That's all been done Mr Reeve finished it yesterday morning and its not chicken wire its rabbit fencing or so clarkes of walsham told me ,anyway what are you doing on here thought you was busy haha

Well finally got the pig moved to its new home on Saturday and it went strait into its new house so it must like it ,also finally finish the fence round the garden yesterday so that's 2 more jobs to cross of the list

Sorry to here that Mark I now how it feels as I had it happen a few years back mine burst and the poison tasted horribly spat most of it out but must have swallowed some has had upset stomach afterwards

and cup of tea in the other hand yes you cant get the staff these days all the while she was painting she was saying Can you see what it is yet

Over the last few weeks when I have had 5min to spare I have been taking down my old fence and pulling out the conifer trees then putting back a new post an rail fence, there was 2 wild cherry tree roots in the way which took a bit of digging/pulling to get out then a another nights work to fill the holes in , the fence is only to keep the dog in but he spends most of the day asleep on the settee ,o well it keeps the wife happy only another 10 post holes to dig

We have to move the granddaughters pet pig from its present shed so I went to see a pig farmer mate of mine and got 2 sheets of the pig-ark tin and over the weekend we built this for it , should move it into its new home next weekend when I have strengthened the fence

Thanks Mark I must admit I only cleaned the parts up on this one Martyn has to have the credit for this as he put this one together and sprayed it when I was back on the farm

A mate of mine does that everyday (makes a smell) haha

Allow I am now getting busy on the farm since last December I have been going over Martyn's (like most years) and cleaning up parts for his own models plus other kits he builds for costumers her is some parts I cleaned last week together with a modified Britains David Brown ,the figure is my lucky mascot that sit on my workbench, the Zetor tractor is a model that martyn has bought in for his own collection
