The "well modified" pallet tine lifter.
Most interesting item in the yard.
I would say sheep, but they are generally trying NOT to stay in the yard......

Average of 13 likieys per post she won't be long getting more trophies specially if she takes over the running of the diary while your awaymonday
had a good day ....mind you didn't do any farming.....looking at forecast the heat is coming....i'd got a maintenance job on holiday let courtyard so i reasoned i'd get that done today then 'hunt a shady job' later in week
so the small courtyard at rear of holiday let is 6ft post/rail/ stocknet....the idea being it's dog proof and guests can let dogs out without worrying...being north it's also cool....we've had no escapes in the nine years we've been open....to hide the fence we use willow screening but this needs replacing regularly.....we'd done this recently but accidently ordered 'reed' instead of 'willow'....the 'reed' was ok cosmetically but not strong and you could see thru it to the rather untidy yard beyond .....the solution was to put the old willow back up on the outside to shelter the reed and fix it's transparency......job went well + worked a treat....i also tidied a bit of the yard up....'dog can see rabbit' now as i really must get yard sorted
the yard itself was the old cow yard....cows stood in it and went into the parlour where strawbs now has her stables....cows went when i was little and yard was used foe sugar beet until 2008 when we packed them up.....the messy part of the yard is a bit of an historical tour of works done in last 15 years....stuff dumped there as projects were done...there's a few tyres from beet days that held covers down...some little bits of scrap saved cos they might be handy after a barn clear out....bitta wood....pallet of stuff from an old pigeon club from norwich i stored til i needed the space ....an extremely heavy footbath that i got nev to make outta chequer plate but never use..pile of flints from re pointing buildings and the 'piece de resistance' a small heap of rubble from the barn conversion build .....NOW...this woulda been recycled years ago except my old dad ,in his wisdom, instructed a readycrete driver to put any surplus left over from installing holiday lets drain build over that rubble......result.....a fekkin 'tanktrap'....wouldn't have been quite so bad but famous 'muddy puddle' was only 20 ft away...a much better home......anyway thats a 'battle for another day'.....whole area is only 100m square but that fekkin 'tanktrap'
shearers coming tomorrow.....HH got very exited cos she got her first 'trophy' for 100 'likieys'
Is that an ROC underground bunker post?Having come up with the idea, I'm now going to struggle to find anything
but I suppose the most unusual thing on the farm would be this just out the back of the house which we inherited when we came here

Magic box mark 2 and either the Vermeer or the oh Deere is guaranteed to make for good reading.......actually just imagine if the pair were put to work in tandam, we could have some prize winning entries!!!!

uncle used to roll his baccy with similar one of thoseNow that's a proper puffball baler
but as yorkie says 'they won't pay owt more for heavy bales'
Look at it another way the super Ted only 7 or 8 fat lambs!!!!that superted made over a grand.......not that i wanted it...y'know i was thinking today why i leave hay so late and it might be 'traditional habit' thing.....my late dad used to do the baling but loved watching wimbledon...,,,so we never cut hay until late the second week.....after we got the welgar i did baling but perhaps 'habit' stuck
or not to Cto C
