Just a thought Spin , but as Clarkson series has gone so well on Prime ,how would you like a film crew for a year following you around. Could open so many new doors, National paper columns and free products that just happen to get in shot. Could be a good earner, what can go wrong . Someone must know a film producer.
I'm not sure spin spin is right for TV....even amazone prime have certain standards!!! I see him more as a radio type. If anyone has ever listened to BBC radio Suffolk (probably not) theres a chap who has a regular slot on the breakfast show called Brian from Melton.
We have the Narfuk equivalent.....spinney from blakney!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Join the club, start times all last week ranging from 3-6 for spraying or loading pigs finish time mostly 9-10.30 because of spraying or baling.
I've got pig sheds to get ready, up until this afternoon I still had game covers to drill but they need fert, spray ,beet to spray,corn to spray, contract spraying to do, hay to turn/row up/bale, Monday and Tuesday contract baling, beet to hoe(unlikely) corn for FSS to rogue, a new puppy, pheasents and partridges in brooder huts to look after..... That'll keep me quite till Wednesday 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Edit, forgot two tractors needing a big 1200 hr service, loadall to service, bale spike to alter, combine to get ready, two days for dad this week carting corn, corn sheds to clean.😰😰😰😰😰

Perhaps your wife needs it rubbing better!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣

Down to just over 7 pages already!...

This is going so well we might get a nice barbie out of him... whilst the weather is still fine...

Spinny boy, you really are not paying attention here - if you was clever, you would invite us all round to the small holding then give us all jobs to do whilst there under the pretext of ‘free food soon lads’ - fix the snottage, wire up the toaster, unblock the holiday let’s pipes, fix the chinky digger and all of us get a road test on it.

C’mon!
 
Christ, rebaling them today in this heat must have been a right twit of a job especially on your own😟

I'd be knackered too if id have done the trip you did in a day!!!!!
It was when chain broke on motor drive on bale breaker , and bird mix area sown now so no where to roll them out , so wuffler in front of Baler and a fork ,, and double extender ladder tied on back of bale shoot sat on 2 bales . Bale till ladder full run round stack into flat 8 s as no one to stack on trailer as usually go up elevator driven off Baler tractor fork some more through 🤬🤬🤬🤬
£4 bale eases it though itchy f in barley straw 😩

Blimey😰 but as you say little bits of paper with the queen's head on does easy the hardship somewhat!!!!??😁

Ps there's going to be some shite hay about this year, I don't think I've baled a single field for anyone yet that's actually been properly made but the customer is always right🤦🤷

ok so 'update' on the 'reservation' (the new 'campsite' next to us).....work is progressing and an access track going in.. but blimey talk about over spec....18 to 24' of soil being taken out to be replaced by farm own aggregate....360 digger...rubber duck....tracked dumper....big sp old road building dumper...3 men for days :oops:

'white settlers' massing but still no real opposition:scratchhead:

new fence virtually finished next to the reservation so should keep snot in and 'indians' out.....but if the hurdlers get a taste for it.... sjt's good looking maize (which is about 4 fields away) may still not be safe😁


The beet pad on the road towards the village B with the fallen down church? Mr T's farm? (not THAT mr T
gettyimages-140939099.jpg
, Mr T the pilot). Is he building a campsite? If its on the field I am thinking of, it always was awkward anyway. Admittedly our machinery was probably too big but still.....


Took me a while to come up with all the code for anonymity, most likely no-one knows what I'm on about, least of all me.
