Looks a bit drier on your land smithy than ours, cant walk on it without getting bogged down never mind go on with a tractor 😃

This was last week while dry ,we have had 62mm since Thursday ,big puddles on fields now , allows a bright side as i can set of to TOYTRAC without thinking i should be ploughing,drilling ,rolling,etc 

cracking photos Paul ,just one thing missing , where is Mr Softies ice cream wagon 🤣 thought he had Scotland all saw-up 

At this moment i am planning on coming down ,we have had 62mm rain since Thursday so water standing everywhere , if this afternoon goes to plan and i can bribe the grandchildren to feed my Christmas chickens tomorrow i will be coming down

That jet is a 1950s era Hawker Hunter.. 

Yes thats what i was told ,there used to be some based just down road from me at Wattisham  Airfield

Last Saturday I took a call from a mate saying that Podges tractor had caught alright, fire brigade could not get up field with engine's but it was too late anyway, fire brigade had to get unimog fire engine out to get to it but that was a good hr later on. 2019 plate farmall, Goody sold it to him new complete with loader. 

Picked up my mate Eric's tractor and brought back to my yard ,he is selling it and easier for people to look at mine 

Managed to get time for one of these the other morning at local cafe 

Picked theses up other week,that's Christmas sorted 

Rolling some seed beds and then getting some spray on 

Back up and running 

Went to operate spool valve while working other days and saw oil shoot out from under cab , return pipe had blown apart,got back to farm and striped it down,next morning I nipped over to Agri-hire and they was able to make me one up so soon got going again 

Cleaning up some more seedcorn in my mates yard , I take my trailer up his then there only have to set lorry up once and then run mine and my mate though 

On way back from Spalding I stopped at cafe on A17 ,these are on display out in carpark, the cafe often have events and raise money for the armed forces 

Thank you to Mr Goodwin for arranging to have these machines on display up at Spalding while toy fair was on .

Expensive day so far, just had 7.5 tonnes of seed corn turn up and then the chemical to spray it once planted, not finished yet as now of to meet Anglia grain services and get another 4.5tonnes of wheat dressed out 

While I was up at Spalding on Sunday the contractors moved in and lifted my sugar beet, there is a few big ones in heap but most are on the small side, they should be loaded and into factory from weekend onwards 

Blimey Sean you put some weight on 😂 looking good so far
