Popular Post Valley Axe Man Posted March 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2020 Had a few hours up at the Carrutherstown ploughing match in Dumfrieshire to catch up with a few friends, bit clarty with plenty of wheelslip, if the wind would have died down it wouldnt have been as bitter of a day on that hillside but it'll have raised a few quid for the Dumfrieshire Prostate Cancer charity Prostate Buddies, didnt get chance for too many photos as forgot camera needed charge.... 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Agri Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Went on a road run Sunday raising money for the MND Assosiastion, very wet day got absolutely soaked and drove 45 miles on it, even got to drive through the centre of wells (or those not local and familiar with Hot Fuzz, Sandford ha ha!!) As well as up Cheddar gorge and back across the moors, cracking day despite weather. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 just been to do our weekly shop, and got 1/8th of what we wanted, i have never seen a supermarket that empty, except from when they are being built, , frozen bit ,tinned bit, baking bit, veg bit, dairy bit, pet bit, and of course bog roll bit, would prob be easier to say what wasn't empty, the chocolate and alcohol bit .no idea where people are putting it, or what the hell they thinks going to happen ,but they should be ashamed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rummor circulated on social media here on Sunday to say the country was going to go on total lockdown today...yeah ..they locked up the pubs alright for St Patrick's day ..thats about as bad as it got. Still the rumour caused alot off panic buying yesterday and shops shelves became empty for a while. People will be throwing out food next month and buying again . Such a waste, but it keeps the farmer going threw these hard times I guess. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a waste, but it keeps the farmer going threw these hard times I guess. . in all honesty i suspect it wont be long till we do lock down ,works stopped taking orders for new service apparently and also slowed down the city fibre build, as we cant get the cable, now call me cynical, but we don't stop taking orders ,so i suspect they know something ,prob from the government in advance, to allow them to plan. we are all meant to be getting emails ,to match our jobs with regards what will happen in the event, like being on call and stuff as well, honestly ,i recon by next weekend tops it will happen.

SPN Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 There's no doubt that there will be a lock down, they already have it in lots of Countries. Let's just hope it is enough, and that we, our friends, and our loved ones come through it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford4ever Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I think so as well Stan.My wife and 2 youngest haven't been outside the gate since last Friday morning except for i took them all down to Granny and Grandad this afternoon where we talked through the window for 15/20 mins. What really struck me was the loneliness felt by all as my parents love the interaction with all their grandchildren and would have been hands on in babysitting when they were younger and now just take them off for shopping days out.My Dad is 86 and in recent years gets the odd bout of asthma attack (every 2 years or so)and mum nearly 80 and healthy but had a weakness last Saturday and ended up in hospital for a good bit of the day so very worrying times.

Tractorman810 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 quick tip run first thing to get rid of some wood ect from the garden, followed by taking 20 slabs down to the stepdaughters and laying her a temp path to her chickens ,as its on a slope and like a skid pad where its just mud and so wet, then back via b&q to het a second fork to start turning over the soil in the garden, however i got distracted by an offer .and spent a few quid more than i was going to, but hell was it worth it, an electric rotavator , reduced from 120 down to 50, 1 and a half hours after getting home inc having a bite to eat , i have blended in 2 tons of soil, and broken it down to pretty much ready to seed bar levelling now .and my backs fine . the gardens nearly hers to sort, and my new sheds mine to make stuff in at last . 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Agri Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Went out with a couple of mates on a small road run to get away from all the doom and gloom and then took the ford out for a run for the first time since January around the local hills! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 finished a few bit off in the garden today, as it was the last day of my 4 days off, so back to work tomorrow, ,which is proving hard to do after the grand kids rang me and told me not to go, as they don't want me to get sick . certainly makes you think , has certainly left a lump in my throat . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
