Davies Int. Southampton. With photos (Part 1)

Hi all started to make a batch of marmalade on Friday, left to soak for 24hrs as per instructions and started to reduce on Saturday, but needed more so left overnight and restarted this morning and after another 3hrs decanted into jars. Got 22lb at the end so just hope it sets when it is proper cooled, a lot harder than jam I must say, Buzzer.

The back seems to be getting better slowly but it’s going to seem like a long week ahead, can put mi own socks on now so the jobs looking up.
Got our yows scanned at home yesterday and came out at 188% so very pleased with that, lambing time will soon be upon us but a least the nights will be drawing out…
Took my unit and trailer for inspection before Christmas and discovered a broken shock absorber, not good for a 7 month old trailer but it seems the shocker may be partially seized.

Cheers Wrighty.

Yes I know how you feel never known pain like it but hopefully it’s on the mend, presumably Dennis has read about “glass backitus” and not suffered from it as it it something you get when you “work” :wink:

Cheers Wrighty.

Live ITV evening news filming at Tracy Island today starring Steven Davies about the effects of Brexit, so now they are planning to use the M3 as a truck park in case of a no deal being the end result, its a truck park most days already. Also picked up me little Volvo cattle float after its MOT and took it to the yard for a Spring clean, Buzzer

Yes, I saw him on the News Buzzer. If they are going to use the M3 as a holding area for Portsmouth I can’t wait to see what they will do for Poole, use the Fleetsbridge bypass?

They managed to cut out the bit he explained about Brexit and its effect but that’s television for you and really was the whole point of the interview in the first place, Buzzer

Hi all,
Not a lot to do with what buzzer just said but many years ago a pall and I were sat on the new hydrofoil on its maiden voyage from Southampton to the I O W.
Day by day tv were all over the place and as we all sat waiting to go we were briefed on who was going to be interviewed, me.
Lights camera action, Q: have you travelled on this boat before sir.
No. Q: have you used the hovercraft. Yes. Q: how does the performance compare. We all fell about laughing and they all walked off.I never got on TV. Harvey

Thought of Davies when I saw this haha
