Doubt they'll still have their wheels on then this morning, no doubt the pit crews off the reservation (woodhouses) will have them tucked away now! Finally, a decent nights rain, surely Dr Green should return a little now? 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is almost inevitable as well as some double cab trannys with nice new radios grass is shooting away now, I can see a hint of green amongst the yellow looking across the fields. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it looks that bit fresher doesn't it, our sheep are white again this morning instead of the dirty yellow they've been for the past couple of weeks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See a few folk complaining about it on faceslap, struggling not to put them straight, I'm sure they appreciate the food on the table. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 went through some rain again on my way up to north devon/cornwall this morn, but way to light and short lived to make any difference, it just burns of the surface where its been baked dry , doesnt soak in at all , you could see it steaming off up the road a bit further where it had past 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've seen it as low for a long time, Grassholme looked fairly full so I'm guessing they've let some water through just recently . As for that little tail, well....... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I have a few of them as if I see one I normally have to go and buy it if I am at a toyfair so of I went to my secret store and got one out and put it in a bag and went back around the farm as she was then feeding the chickens I called her to say I had a present for her well you should have seen her face when she saw what it was her mum was screaming with joy as well , Ella forgot about being shy she gave me a high 5 just had some pictures come though she has cut the lounge carpet a dozen times tonight bless her . cant believe I give one of my prized models away think I had better go and lay down for a while , thinking about its a excuse to nip away to toyfair and get a replacement 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
