You are sooooooooooooooooooo sweet Sean (muffin forgetting definitely forgiven :-*). Actually, I've been trying to avoid horses - too much time, money and trouble  >:( But, once word gets out that you can ride a bit... (thanks to my Dad for that one), there is always a plentiful supply of owners with too little time and too many GGs around (including my father, who's taken up eventing and wants help with his horsey) :-\

I now have a sore bum, and really feel like falling asleep for an hour or two... but instead have several hours of website stuff to do :'(

Shopping for me again as Traci just couldn't be pleased. Then to Nans for a cuppa, then a meal in Anthony Wirral Thompsons pub then a DVD then home. Only logging on this late as I checked my messages and one from Stan required an immediate few minutes of my attention!!

And now I can't log off!!  :D :D

Well it was actually yesterday but so enjoyable I have just got to give it a mention.

Yesterday I was invited to an open day at the house of Mike Drellan who lives a few miles from me. Mike and his brothers originated from Ireland and came accross to work in the oil industry in Aberdeen and have ran rather successful oil service companies. On display in the field below his house were the following

A stone crusher driver by a Steam Road roller ex Donald Stewart Aberdeen

A saw bench cutting trees (over 100 years old) driven by a traction engine

Next a steam engine driving a Foster threshing mill

Alongside a smaller traction engine "Coxk of the North) driving the baler

Then a Foden steam wagon giving kids rides around the field and grounds

Finally to crown it all a showmans steam engine called "Dolphin" driving a kids fairground carosel.

Next came the marque where 2 course lunch was served with a band playing in the background and face painting for the kids.

Ouside again and two Volvo lorries were on display old R and N' regs's looking splended

Then the tractors

A yellow Forson, a single cylinder Styer and of course my favourite a French International Farmall Cub with a two way plough which I would love to get my hands on for mine.

Oh nearly forgot a Fairground organ playing also.Met lots of Mike's Irish pals ( 12 came over for the event) who were a really friendly and happy bunch. Took quite a few photos which if they turn out to be any good will post as a separate post at a later date.

PS The "Coxk" of the North Engine will be doing a run from John O Groats to Lands End during 2008. It has already done this run in the 1960's. They plan to cover the distance in 7 days doing 12 hours on the raods per day.

PPS The x in the Coxk should be a "c"

Well this morning when I was getting out of bed at 7.00 the Mrs informs me that she was awake on and off through the night because of a scratching noise coming from the chimney  ???

Turns out when I went to look there was a b****y crow down the chimney ::)

The wire mesh I put over the top about 8 years ago had rusted away it seems.A bit later on took the opportunity to sweep the chimney  - no sign of the crow now ??? must have worked his way back up the chimney himself :-\ did find a dead one outside later. Got a new galv bird guard from Mole Valley and had ladder from loader bucket up to chimney stack to fit it , Job done. Health & safety would have loved to see that operation :D

In her good books now :)

Years ago we had a little owl come down in the summer  opened up all  the fire places in the bedrooms as well but he wouldn't come out for a couple of days  ::) ::)::)
