Took this in the yard today R44 minus the fly swat in the windscreen just to let Andrew " snapper " Morrison know the old girl is pining Buzzer.
Yes Buzzer, keeping a “Breast” of things it all goes back to young teenage years a ingrown male ■■■■.not many girls at my school at 14 years old had any resemblance of breasts.we were like drones… still the same .professional…How did you get cookery lessons, we never had them, the girls did,we had gardening ,and smoking… and who got the best erection,or who could ■■■■ over the wall…good school i went too, left in 1959 , thicker than when i started…so they all said .but did better than any of the Gramer lads my age, by 19 years old i had been around the world =out through the PANAMA CANAL and back through the Suez ,far east,communist china , up the Yangtze river, Aussie,NZ, both sides of south America,meat boats .last trip was 1 year.[mans run] ,so the driving was easy. sorry i am re writing my history, so its in the old block.
That motor looks just ready for me to do a trip in,but it might come back with the odd corner missing…Maybe a carrot needs to be dangled,to good to refuse and you might see the swatter again. I have worked at firms where no one new, what any one else was getting paid .wrong but affective.
Wtighty why is a lamb called a gimmer ,ie give me milk?? we have had your icy wind yesterday and today,thank you
my feet have been given the all clear today -until the next time, consultant and doctor, both agreed ,that giving me cortisone injections was pointless, unless racked with pain…[or have to get my wallet out]…pdb.
Evening PDB
Surprisingly for Yorkshire folk we don’t mind sharing our weather lets just hope it warms up sharpish, not sure where the term gimmer comes from but no doubt she will have pride of place in front oft log burner again.
What are you planning to do with your newly acquired fifty acres Buzzer, is it all pasture to graze or is some meadow for cropping. The dispersal sale at Newark sounds like a good bet for some decent cattle, are you going to buy cows with calves at foot or store cattle to summer? Here are a couple of photos taken over the weekend.
Cheers Wrighty.
Evening Wrighty the fifty acres is not all good and its under SSI so no fert or sprays etc, there is one good bit of about 9 acres which you can cut but not till the 1st of July. The restriction only allows for ten cattle but its not lush grass just bigger area but wont dry up as marshy. My plan is to turn out the ten Sim steers I still have in the barn and put cows in my own field if I get any. Have cut the grass on the newly rented land two years ago and had it for free but I have to use contractors and it worked out at just over £14 per round bale carted to my place so you have to work out if its worth all the hassel or just graze it. Rang the auctioneers today to see what the score is as they don’t know me from Adam, the girl was right chilled about it just said come to office and register and you can pay by cheque if you buy. They also said when asked that they can arrange transport back to me but undecided if I shall take my truck or car as of yet will decide later, no catalogs so you have to turn up and view and make your decision, all the cows have calved in’t last two months and not been back to bull.
PBB good to here your feet ok for the moment, spose we have to put up with our pains at our age, you sound well travelled and imagine you had no trouble staying away in a truck after that initiation. Someone once said to me the only way to make money is hard work but the essence is to get some one else to do it for you, but I have always thought I would’nt ask some one to do a job I could not do my self.
Good morning everyone, hope you are well. ■■■■■■ (Steve) is going to do the business this Sunday in London, please help him get there and thank you so much for reading. Take care, H ■■
Reuben’s Adventure of a Life Time
#RAOALT
On the 24th of April 2016 I will be competing in my third London Marathon. My aim this time round (apart from a 3 hour 30 minute finish!) is to make a real difference to a couple of local lads, twins in fact, that have faced adversity since the day they were born. Reuben and Zachary Smith are well known members of my local community in Whiteley and are now the grand old age of 6.
Since birth, they have both suffered from the affects Cerebral Palsy brings, and Reuben in particular is unable to walk and relies heavily on his wheelchair to try and live a normal childhood at his home and school. Unlike most 6 year olds, days out down the park and the beach don’t exist. Memories that make up any childhood we all have are out of reach to this brave little boy.
Well, out of reach until now……………
In April this year, the Smith family will have a brand new vehicle at their disposal so they make can all these simple journey’s we take for granted every day. Trips to the shops, holiday road trips, or round to the grandparents to be spoilt will actually be possible for Reuben and his brothers. The new vehicle needs a conversion, ramps and ancillary equipment must be fitted so that Reuben can be transported around with ease in his wheelchair in the environment that is crucial to his ongoing health and wellbeing. Without this he will be confined to a living room and a classroom for the majority of his childhood.
I am intending to raise £10,000 to make these childhood memories a reality………but I need your help………
After an agonising and frustrating year with injuries in 2015 I am now back in the full flow of running and my intense training programme has started. The next 4 months and 500 miles of training will ensure I conquer London for a third time. All I ask is that if you can support me in raising this money – it is without doubt my hardest challenge to date – but with you behind me we can make it happen.
Help me give Reuben his long awaited Adventure of a Life Time.
Thank you

Great stuff on here lately…
Nice pics of the Bosnia run… Is that the " Bristol Bullit " posting?Nice to see Charlie One and the old grump known as TIR Tone back in the fold…
A nice farming reference / pun there.Wrighty. We’ve an orange weather warning here and it’s actually snowing as I write this , so get your head down , or at least get Uncle John to send you a decent hat
Sorry to hear about your Molly JD… Only dog lovers would know how much they mean to you.
Very interesting your comment , back a bit , about left hookers and the lack of experience in that dark art these days.
Something I’d not realised.
In my freelance days I’d regularly swap from right to left as I’m sure many on here did. My preference was always for left. Even in the uk.
I always recall when on for Frankie Allen , there were two left ■■■■■■ Berliets. I had one for about 6 months and loved it… But there was many a mishap with new drivers going in the ditch . Back then new drivers would have to go on a test drive with a " senior " driver… Can’t remember who it was but you might? I remember one lad passing that little test and being sent out in a Berliet the next morning… He got as far as Bishops Waltham and thwacked a telegraph pole. Came back on a low loader…oops
[/quoteHi Baldrick
Berliet 3.jpg[/attachment]
I take it this is the one you were talking about and the other one must be yours as the name in the window.
I think Brian Hawkins likes posing for the camera, hope all is well Regards Kev
[attachment=1]
Kev where did you get those pics from, I also worked for PBC or Franky Allen before the Cabmont takeover,he only lives a short distance from me and saw him at the docs surgery about two months ago. Asked if he had any albums I could scan but he was not that forth coming, Remember Brian well and he and his Mrs were also into driving a horse over Durley way, there was another fitter there with Brian don’t remember his name plus a nipper and of course the old miserable Frenchman, maybe this was before your time as when I was there four Berliet units plus Mandators and Fodens.
Also had a mishap after loading sheep skins in an old mill in Taunton in my Mandator GOW 72L came over a tight old bridge on my way out and the bridge gaveway and up she went on her side, well there were skins up in the tree’s and floating down the stream, they were not amused. Down they came with another unit and trailer transhipped the load, Brian and Tinker from the office were there and it took two days with the help of some yobs from the local employment office for cash in hand, but still shipped out with it to Mazamet near Twoloo’s but the old girl over heated and gave up came back on the back of a tilt, 1973 that was and while they were repairing her I skipped of at four oclock on the Friday too early for Frank and they sacked me but I went on to better things after, hard to believe that was 43 years ago, Mary Hopkin moment cheers Buzzer.
Freddy the Goat update: He was a bit lethargic the last day or so. Bit of a cough and a snotty nose. Time for the vets me thinks. We had a furry handbag dog to go as well so Freddy into the boot of the Fiesta. Bum temperature taken, 41.5 which should be 38.5, he has a fever. Here’s the bit to make you cry Buzzer…2 x 4 day dosis of anti biotics (one dog one goat) and time taken…20€

Funny that Gazzer the vet who did my TB test on my cattle was Spanish and she is over here as there aint much work now in Spain but the charges were not like yours that’s for sure, Buzzer
Colmenar “Romeria” (Horse Fair) this weekend. I will miss the Sunday as I will be on the paraffin parrot!
Hosses out in the paddock while there is a bit of sun, and my man putting on a bit of nitrogen that was a prompt job turned up an hour after ringing him and that spreader was pelting me when taking the picture, quick two hundred quid gone in 15 minutes so it better get a spirt on now all it needs is a shower and to warm up a bit. Buzzer.
Gazzer that is a tandem there which I think is the hardest setup to drive.
twenty years ago me on the box giving this pair a spin out, they belonged to a friend called Jack Collinson RIP who was over from the IOM and he was staying at Wilson Garnett’s Ackenthwaite farm near Milnthorpe they were a nice sharp pair of youngsters and great to to drive. Cheers Bewick.
F I I K Buzzer! 3 nags in triangular formation waiting outside a bar for customers to be taken to another bar. Pub crawle around the village.

On me way to spec savers Gazzer did not see the hoss in the back, that formation is a Unicorn, Buzzer
PS. Dennis you look quite young in that shot, Carriage could be a bit bigger though.
Evening Buzzer
Been a busy week up ere now it’s starting to dry out at last, got some fertiliser on to our land lower down the dale and today we’ve been spreading muck. Only eight yows left to lamb so that jobs bossed just have to keep em alive now, busy tomorrow mucking sheds out and finally a day off on Monday.
Cheers Wrighty.
Wrighty knew you bin bizzzy as you aint bin on here this week, as you can see had some nitrogen put on today so need a shower or two to get it in the ground and wait for lift off. My youngest son is doing the London Marathon tomorrow so im’e on me own as the Boss is going to spectate, was going to Cheddar to look at cattle but they are now not available so Newark next Saturday and try there.
Walking the council land on Monday with the head ranger to tell him what need’s doing there, he has been twice and cant believe how its been let go, but he is knew to the job here and has responded quickly and that has not happened in the past with the old staff. He is going to give me keys hopefully and we can get on as the cattle are looking to get out, you know what I mean they have had enough of being shut in the barn and they will like the grass as nothing better, cheers Buzzer.
Morning Buzzer,
Saw Horry’s post the other day about your son doing the London marathon, good luck to him I think I would find it hard work walking 26 miles never mind running it!
A bit of a later start today go and feed some sheep and lambs the start mucking sheds out, we’ve got a bloody TB test on the 6th of June so all our cattle will have to stop inside till then, which means a very long winter and a short summer not ideal but hey ho were just here to be messed around by DEFRA.
Sounds good that the council are going to be pro active in helping you to square the land up, makes a change them working with you and not against you. Oh well better go and get something done, we went out for a pint or two last night and it’s not helping the motivation this morning…
Cheers Wrighty.
Evening Buzzer
Well it’s been a full day two sheds mucked out,so should do us now until turnout. Day off tomorrow taking the Land Rover for service and it’s first MOT, so a relaxing day for a change…
Cheers Wrighty.
Well it’s not farming or horses or trucks in tonight’s report but to sing the praises of our younger son Steve who today ran the London marathon and he did it for two little boy’s Reuben and Zachary Smith who are twin’s and live near him, but unfortunately have cerebral palsy and Reuben is wheel chair bound and has become too heavy for his parents to lift him into there car. They are getting a new VW transporter van but this has to be converted with a ramp and lift which cost £10,000 to have installed, the family are just ordinary people and don’t have that sort of disposable income and Steven took it upon himself to raise that amount culminating with the London Marathon today and he did it in 3 hours 28 minutes and 58 seconds no mean feat for a amateur runner. He said from mile 20 to 23 were killer but the crowd and the thought of scoring the goal he set out to achieve kept him going to the finish line.
Completing this today plus numerous other fund raising events by friends of this family in a community who care and all pulled together will mean these two little boys will now be able to have days out at the sea side and venture out to places they could not before, amazing.
So as you can imagine as parents we are so proud of Steve in setting his mind to this task and seeing it through to the finish line.
He is still a little short of his target but there are still some donation’s promised but he is at £9000 plus and we personally will make sure he ring’s the bell and gets the £10,000. needed, as parents so proud of your achievement Jill and John Davies.
