Putting time aside to just enjoy

[ColinV6]

To get away from the hustle and bustle of not seeing anybody as I am on my farm on my own all day I like to get away to Australia where there are even less people. Covid has put paid to that for now.

Here’s a holiday pic, we saw a car every 12 miles so at some points there wasn’t another car in front for 24 miles (about as far along the road as you could see in the pic)

Isnt there something like a 90 mile straight in Australia??

Enjoy time with the family, or alone (but with a dog), reading, making whatever, writing, so many things!

Get a great deal of pleasure sitting with my back against a tree for an hour, with a bottle of beer in Summer or a small flask in the Winter and, whether it's by the river, in a wood or by a hedge, just watching.

View attachment 995067Messing about on a bike, with a sandwich and a flask of coffee is just brilliant. Forces you to concentrate totally on something other than the daily sh£te , takes you to some amazing places and costs little really. I’m lucky to have the marvel of mid Wales nearby…… bloody love it

that is some view, just wow!

Imaginatively called “90 mile straight”, more than a days drive through nothing just to get there. I have been relatively close to it but not actually on it.
I’ve been a fair few times but still haven’t got my head around how big and how empty the place is and I’ve only really been to the busier bits.
My pic is Capricorn highway in Queensland on the way to Longreach.

I also like just taking pics on I phone. Should get a proper camera really . This was this morning walking the dog

grandkids and a motorbike, occasional clay shooting but that is bloody expensive.

Youngest son has been racing karts for years, and we usually end up in a windswept corner of the UK, going round in circles.

Hunting , seeing bits of country like this( @Hilly ’s backyard!). Hound work, and out on the horse, that’s all I need !

Surely ploughing would be better than combining

This time of year I do a little shooting and picking up, I really enjoy being out with my dogs

Me and number 2 dog last week out for the 1st time this season

I also cycle as much as possible, just over 2000 miles so far this year. It is the best way to take my mind off work.

We were at Shennington in July for the 6 hour endurance race, practicing for the British 24 Hour race at Teesside in August (4 drivers doing 6 hours each).
September was Rowrah, October was Fulbeck, where he broke his shoulder blade after hitting a spinner and rolling the kart...

In winter - Ice climbing, particularly the North Face of Ben Nevis, don;t often get the chance as conditions have to be right combined with cows in etc also cosying up in front of the fire with all the books I wanted to read since last winter. Spring would be starting to get the garden prepared for planting. Summer - after the main bulk of the work is done is kayaking and wild swimming ( plan to buy a paddle board this year also. Autumn- camping as no midges, nice fire and cooking langoustines, scallops and steak, I enjoy preparing for winter at the same time as dreading it, but there is something nice about hanging heavier curtains etc and knowing that you have enough logs for the fire, meat in the freezer and veg stored for an apocalypse.

Edit - Forgot trying new wines

I wish... sadly I've never met anyone daft enough to put up with me for long!

... not an option when working with professional models, even direct drilling isn't allowed

The funny thing is that over the years I have worked with some absolutely stunning models including some in various levels of undress & it does nothing for me in that sense, which is just as well because that sort of thing is very much frowned upon & if you get a reputation then you end up pretty much blacklisted!
