660 miles in and with another 80 to go; a very wet tour of Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire

Lunch bought from Mr Rees in Narberth ; a super meat pie . The blackboard tells me the beef this week is a Salers X procured locally

You probably passed one of our places .....could have got the kettle on . 😊😊
.....or something stronger before you cross over the border into the risky @Celt83 territory 😊😊
 
Bit of luck yesterday,
Was asked if I wanted an old corn roller . Couple were clearing out their late father's garage. So I fetched it yesterday afternoon.

Works perfect . Going back today as there are some other items that they want rid of .
Have you ever actually had to buy anything or is it your impish charm that draws people to give you stuff??!!.

Help people out in their time of need and they never forget .
This couples father broke down some 15 yrs or so ago . His son was ill and asked me for help.
I made a 160 m round trip leaving at 9pm to fetch him back with ny truck and trailer .
....no I didn't charge them !

Couldn't agree more, I am a great believer in what goes round comes round. Helping someone out gives you a great feeling of inward satisfaction.

It's a pain in the arse! So slow
A bit maybe, but sometimes in life you just need to slow down and take on the sheer beauty of where we live.

I worked on a farm in Bristol years and years ago and I would work 15-18 hour days for long stretches and an old boy from a neighbouring farm told me "just remember boy, you'll be a long time dead".

Don't get me wrong I still work hard, even my lad runs to different jobs to be done on the farm, but that old boy was right so I take the scenic route, and little things like watching our lad playing rugby on a Sunday morning makes life a bit bearable!

One of the greatest feelings of life is to help people out in their time of need.
