As I am writing this the window has been pulled in a little as its raining, yes you heard it right its raining for five minuets now stopped but enough to make that smell of the tarmac. Just come back from my annual LGV medical which was ok, blood pressure 117/60 which was good till I had to part with £90 hard earned sovs over half me pension then the heart rate would have surely shot up, personally I think it should be free and at the end of the day you could do as much damage in a 7.5 tonner as a 14 ton one and you don’t need a medical every year for one of them.
Picked a load of runner beans this morning but they are not all that, although I water them every other day you cannot beat a bit of rain, spuds are the same and the ground is as dry as a nuns wot not, they just aint swelled up like they should.
The standing straw auction by FLA made some dosh, winter wheat £170 an acre, Spring Barley £132 so looks like straw will be dear this winter, of to Frome tomorrow as need a few more steers so we shall see, cheers Buzzer.

Hi Andrew, Great pictures as always from you, Thank you. This picture brings back memories for me.
I sailed on “Normandie” from when it was new in 1992. Could you please put this picture on the
“Normandie” thread that I started a while back. Kind Regards, Ray Smyth.
