powerrabbit Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Managed to mow a lawn this morning before the rain came. Had a man and his wife come to see me this afternoon, on holiday over from New Zealand and wanted to see my tractors as he runs the North Island D.B. Club. The strangest thing was that I mentioned that we had freinds that emmigrated to NZ 40 years ago who's family was evacuated from London down here to my Grandparents farm in the last War and has always kept in touch, I showed them some photos that I have of the now retired 'children' and this chaps wife could not believe her eyes when she saw in the photo that I handed her, she was looking at the woman she works with at home in NZ. How strange is that? It's a very small world! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How strange is that? It's a very small world! It doesn't matter where you go; if you are the sort of person who likes to talk to anyone; you will nearly always find a link somewhere, and especially as NZ is full of ex Brits. My step daughter did a round the world trip, and got chatting to some people in a bar in Tasmania. They started talking to her obviously because she was English. They asked her where she came from. She replied that she lived in a place called Uckfield, but doubted that they would never have heard of it. The not only knew of Uckfield; but lived there too. Not quite the same I know, buty I once got talking to a chap in Gloucester at Cameron Gardners factory. He used to live next door to my uncle in Sussex. The more people you talk to; the smaller the world gets............ amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britainswomble Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Supposed to be going to a barbecue this afternoon.......... the temperature has just about got up to 60 F, and we are getting constant heavy showers. If it happens, we'll probably be eating ash covered sausages, cos it's as windy as hell too. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That post really made me laugh - 'big' jobs had an entirely different meaning in our house when we were kids!!! Photos? I sincerely hope not!

Also had a couple of chaps out from the dealers today fitting a new hydraulic rockshaft kit (£800!!) to my tractor due to wear and tear meaning the pick up hitch won't function Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
