Over weekend myself and Goody together with are wifes nipped over to France to this show ,myself and goody have been before as it used to run at same time as Sima ,but sima has been moved to November so are wifes said now you can take us to this one so we did 

Get a Wife 😂

Had to smile when i saw this 

My mate come in to help for a few hrs today so while i got on with other little jobs he started to stick this back together , he plan on nipping back next monday to do the main welds and put a couple of braces on it . Blade was at a angle before but now it is staight and is about 6inches longer 

Was a busy day yesurday as i managed to spray about 40 acres as well 

Yesturday it was still nice and dry so i rolled  this wheat that went in at end of November 

Been throwing some more £££ about,need to give it a wash now 

Bought this out of a collection last weekend , SCALEDOWN 

As i have one in my shed , it really needs restoring , When i was down at the Bath and West Showground a few weekends back i bought this model of Ken 

picked this up in the last week , not sure who done it but its based on a Britains 

Sprayer controls are a bit awkward to bolt into cab onto the front cab pillar as its right next to windscreen and one slip and its a new windscreen , anyway i cut the bracket away from the rest and welded on a bigger bit of box with a bolt welded in to clamp it up ,had to make this bit twice as i never got it right first time and had to cut it back off and start again . Got there 2nd time so now i have the small bracket bolted on to cab pillar and can be left in place and just slide control box bracket/box inside box/bracket in seconds and do the one bolt up and its in place , took a bit longer to make up than i thought just got to get some black paint to finish it off

On way back from Blists Hill on the A5 Gemma spotted this sign... And said it's handy knowing where we can bring the 465 when it's not feeling well 🤣🤣🤣

Looks like you have had a good time the last week ,nice views and a bit of how it used to be done to look around .  As for the 465 you will probably have to leave it in a queue outside till they find room for it 😂

Like jmd has said they do look good sitting there side by side . When you make a wedding present list slip a 4wd nuffield on it 🤣👍

Very nice ,not taken mine out of box to have a good look as yet 

And could not leave this one behind .just got to hide them from the wife know🤣

Also added this to collection ,its based on the britains NC Spreader

Picked this up the othet day 

From 12 till 2pm and from 4 till6pm you could have hog roast rolls and all day you could have as much tea,coffee or beer as you could drink . Other photo is 3 members of are group . As we stopped for more food on the way home ,👍wont need nothing to eat for the rest of the week 

Last ones of the machinery ,

Had a trip up to Pecks open day at there Spalding branch 

Also picked up one of these the other week 

I picked up this one the other day.

I went and run this around a headland where spring barley is going in ,mainly to get corners where plough dont get .I will use the mark its made for lifting drill out and setting in so i can drill headland last ,my superviser had a long day so decided to have a sleep 🤣

Started of as just trimming it back as branches was touching bungerlow and over hanging the farm track but it looked a bit silly with just the main trunk and very short branches so had a change of plan ,atleast i got some firewood for next winter .
