Thanks Paul.

It was a good day at Johns. Good to meet Alan, a fellow Northerner from Gods end of the country, and John at last. Managed to find one or two bits the vultures had missed. If I'd had more time and Chris's van had been empty, I think there would have been more than one or two.

Not yet. Negotiations will be in progress.

Bloody lap top. Can someone more computer savvy get rid of the lot, please?

Well done. You'll be one happy bunny.

Well things had a good testing at Rural Past Times. Things went OK, except I broke the latch again. This gave a problem when for traveling around. The plough was scraping on the ground. So the last hole in the clevis was used. I had to do a bit of modification to the hitch with a hacksaw borrowed off The Showman. Sometimes the plough would stay up without the latch and sometimes not. I got round that problem by keeping an eye on the plough and raising it if it started to lower. As for ploughing things went well. The plough going in enough to turn the ground over. The actuator lifted the plough out without any problem. I must say I'm quite pleased with things so far. Even with only my second attempt at trying to be a ploughman.

I like the trucks.

Looks good, Rhys.

Nice outfit. Good choice.

We should start a Little and Large tribute act.

Nice job. I see you used a gradely tractor to do the grading.

I like the car and thimble bar.

Thoroughly enjoyed it, Chris. Booking my room for next year.

Best make sure your full timers next year then.

Been a really good weekend, despite being to hot and to much traffic. I'm not used to either. Good to put faces to names, Iain and Richard to mention two. I'll make a more detailed report when I get home in a week.

Showmans now on site. Same pitch as last year.

Disco's loaded now. Only food and fridge to put in. All being well, 6am ish will see trailer hitched up, pulled out of workshop and heading for Penrith, A66 and A1(M)

Have you tried Meetens at Preston?

Says it's not listed.

Won't take up much room.

Nigel will never look that good.

Your doing a grand job there, George.

Become as supporter, Nick. Cheap at half the price. Then you can load as much as you like.

I thought it would be Jonathan. If he needs me, I'll be only to pleased to assist.

That looks new.
