Can't like that, as @holwellcourtfarm said, no ageWell lifting beet hasn't happened.
East wind with minus temps equals frozen beet for a 2nd timeI suppose when they are fit to go at least we might be able to travel. The cold wind has dried things a little.
So the other task for the day was attending this.

Bit of charity work today,
Winds took grandads roof off last week, and what does a 78 year old with no intention of retiring do? Announce he can fix it even though his second favourite grandson puts sheds up
So went and got it done before he did
Even treated him to a new gutter, going for the position of number one grandson

Sad times, @carbonfibre farmer
, very very sad to read of someone going at such a young age. Our main haulage contractor passed away a couple of weeks ago, again in his mid forties, no age.....I liked your post out of respect, as actually liking the content is very difficult unfortunately.
Fitting tribute to have his wagon there, very nice.

When we do a shed there’s always 2 or 3 sheets spare so I’ve saved them, they’re all slightly different shade of grey but it hasn’t cost him owt
even the new 9x3’s are some that I’ve used for concrete shutters. Only think I’m going to have to buy is new ridge. He’ll still moan

Nah, easy way of getting rid of asbestos sheets, just bung them up somewhere else! 78 years old, not going to make much difference!

They where second hand when great grandad put them on in 1953 so I’m guessing they’re probably asbestos

No.
Went to tip corn at one of the local mills. Got out the lorry, complaining didn't feel well in weightbridge and dropped down dead. Suspect heart attack.

They probably would. Be need to be going straight in really. And as you can see our haulier was a bit tied up. I know we want our beet in but just sometimes other things are more important. (That's not meant to sound harsh btw, my crap way of putting things across
)We sat next to our contractor lifter and fieldsman there too. Maybe lift some tomorrow. If not Wednesday. But lift to cart rather that all in one lump.
