Lots around Kemble in Gloucestershire: NH 8870 towing a folding harrow and Vaderstadt rolls; team of 3 NH's with a Grimme harvester and potato trailers and what looked like a Case STX Steiger pulling up stubble, plus 20/30 series john deere surrounded by hedge trimmers of various makes. There was much more including several Fendts with slurry tankers but I wasn't wearing my specs and we passed them too fast.

All day at the Battle of Britain airshow in Kemble, highlights were a Lancaster, Hurricane, Spitfire, Airbus A380 and a Vulcan bomber. Only ruined by the weather at the end of the display plus the Dove transport plane my parents were due to fly in had a problem with its undercarriage and so had to abort before take-off.

Great pictures , like the one off the ford on the track , is it all the farmers kit or is it contractors or a mix ? As for the Un-orthodox way off moving the bale , boss where i work did that a few years ago exept he drove over the bale with the front
was pretty funny altho he broke the bale backing off it.Equipment belonging to several farmers and a contractor I think Taz. Grain going to the big farm and the bloke who owns the Ford gets some straw. The big Massey and baler belong to a contractor. Not sure about the combine.

And this lovely 7495 with a Hesston 4900 big square baler chased them round:
Just after I took this photo the 7810 accidently hit the old gate post with the laden trailer, he wasn't square to it:
Un-orthodox way of moving the bales (sorry for the poor quality I was some distance away)

I caught the tail end of this year's harvest at the top of our hill. The (?)wheat crop looked quite weather beaten.
Another Massey combine this year but a change from the usual 36 with this 7272:
On carting duties a Massey 3095 and Ford 7810, both with Marstons:

strange thing i saw today... a red case 2294 with a tarrup/westmac 108 forager .. fella driving looked like he had never, shaved or cut his hair
There's just such a feral-looking farmer round our way, who closely resembles Ben Gunn!

I'm trying to take care of my Firestones but it's difficult not to spin when parked on a concrete slope. I dread the day when I get that bill.. -

I know... it's hard to get them complete and just as hard to have to sell these :'( :'( But, that's what I do for a living

Well aside from burying the dog ( :'( ) I've been visiting a number of local farms doing my placement mail drop. 16 farms down some 50-odd to go
L200 handled well, but I got stuck on one very steep hairpin and put a bit of rubber down. -
Thunderheads and downpours visible over the forest but fortunately passed us by today

Sorry to hear that sad news buddy.. chin up if you can
Thankfully I'm on anti-depressants which took some of the edge off it, but I'm still going to miss the silly old girl. Thanks Mark

A white Britains Powerfarm County 1884 arrived in the post today with only the cab frame and steering wheel reproductions and it's chugging along well. Now I can sell my rather forlorn one from childhood.

Mike Edwards former ELO founder and cellist who played at my Grandad's funeral was killed in a freak accident when a round bale hit his van after rolling down a hill and through a hedge. He was a really nice bloke and we're all shocked and upset :'( :'(
