[Bignor Farmer]

Well pleased I got to meet you and chat Saturday afternoon.
Well done @Bignor Farmer pretty work!

Thank you

Didn't do too bad - came is 2nd against the usual suspect on day 1, consequently ploughed in the champion class on day 2 and came 3rd after Richard I and Ian Berriman. Very chuffed to be honest, there was an impressive line up of top vintage men in the class and some really nice pieces of work. One notable fact was for the first time I've been going the supreme champion was awarded to the vintage trailed and not conventional...and there were plenty of top conventional men there. Trevor Johnstone from Cumbria got that and overall vintage!

Well done @Bignor Farmer, nice to meet you Will! Hope you got off the field OK, I called in at a garage and jet washed my front axle off as my wheels were vibrating!! Cost me £6 in tokens and I left them with a nice pile of orange soil and stubble!

I put up with the vibration! Got home at 11 and slept like a baby!

Thank you!

You probably can’t remember but we had a long chat as you were setting up for your opening several years ago in Kent. You persuaded me go forward and enter the nationals!

I guess that was in 2015? Until last week I hadn’t realised it was you. Anyway, congratulations! Where will you be ploughing at the world match next year?

The worlds are in Estonia. Someone told me they’re in the middle of August so that will be interesting

And I thought Taunton was a long way.I Believe we’re going to Ireland.

I’m pretty sure Ian Wilson ploughed there for wales - Adrian brewer ploughed conventional for England the same year. The trip involved a second ferry from Germany on to Estonia- was a fair trip apparently.
