Popular Post L33 DA17ON Posted April 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2021 Haven't been on here for a long time with everything that went on with my son and his leukaemia. I had to join Facebook for a big fundraising we did for him to get him to Singapore as it just seemed easier to post on there. Anyway. No more greenside farm now welcome to Hazel head farm Smaller farm with 40 beef cows and 250 ewes to lamb. Farms in between carlisle and the lake district Keswick. Farmer Simon has been splashing the cash on a teagal straw chopper and a lovely new hurlimann xb100max with sigma 4 loader The day Tunstall tractors delivered the hurlimann on a lowloader Having got a new l4wd loader tractor meant we had to give up the 2 old massy fergusons. Straw chopper put on right away 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Hello Lee, nice to see you back on here. I'm terribly sorry to hear about your son, my deepest condolences to you and your family. I think that unless you are a parent yourself you can't even begin to imagine the enormity of such loss, as you say I'm sure he's by your side as you work away. I love the new layout, especially the cattle yard. I've often thought that there's not enough small livestock farms represented in model form, looking forward to your next update.

mb86 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Im deeply sorry to hear that Lee, you and your family must have gone through hell over the last few months. Like John said, unless you are a parent yourself, it’s impossible to comprehend what you have been through. A great start to your new layout, I enjoyed seeing Greenside develop and I’m looking forward to this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sadly he lost his battle with leukaemia on 31st of January he was 16month when diagnosed with it and he was 3 year old when he passed. He had to go to Singapore for special treatment that cost £500.000 whitch did work but the 3rd bone marrow transplant made his lungs so bad he was struggling to breathe so had to be put into a coma to rest his lungs but sadly they were to damaged and couldn't stop the bleeding in his lungs.

Yeah I liked doing it and it was just like my brothers farm but it was taking up to much room on a 8x4 board and that was just the old part of the farm. Now I've got this ill just stick with it and make small dioramas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L33 DA17ON Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 So it's been all go hear on Hazelhead farm. Finally managed to get the planning for the new shed passed, so the lads turned up with the diggers on late Tuesday night to get a early start stripping off. Had one of the best digger drivers he could work them machines with his eyes closed. Had to remove a far bit of top soil to hit the good ground but hasn't gone to wast as it'll do for the meadows in the dips to level off. Diesel bowser got dropped off in yard so we took it over to the site for them on the gator. As were still in full swing with lambing Matthew had to lead the capping from the quarry 7 loads then finish off with type 1 subbace ready for the concrete to pour into the holes for steel work. can't falt them lads they where top notch and good at what they do. Sleep work turned up after around a month from ordering it. Then the lads come back to erect it. Steel works just about finished now but not the sheeting. Hoping I can get them to pour the concrete floor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
