nb the prize is *not* a drawer.

Say hello to Mrs Static who will be easily identifiable all morning and until 2pm tomorrow, on account of her smiley face and approachable demeanour.

I didnt know I had TFF points? Are they in lieu of the masses of insightful, free content I have generated over the years?

I am not sure I will be there due to bad back, but you are welcome to drop off a free TFF mug or calendar for her.

If only a chat could fix that ;-). Good to see you too. I like this show, it’s not the biggest but that means people seem to have a lot more time to talk

Was a very windy Midlands Machinery Show when we left today - but we had a great day and thanks to all the members who took the time to come and say hello to us. Its such a friendly show and I don't think we stopped chatting all day to companies and farmers. Managed not to get wet either!

Here are some of my pictures from the day:

We do have a small stand at croptec if you’re there
