For what? Wife’s pony or house strawburner?

The lady who packs eggs for us keeps horses and we use a few each year for chickens to peck at.

Given the baler needed a new tyre i'm sure it would have been cheaper to get a contractor if anyone still has an old conventional, but an afternoon pottering about with the old faithful is a quite a nice way to round off wheat harvest!

Dragged the old baler and sledge out of the shed, spent 3 hours getting it running and taken to the field, it bashed out 222 bales in 35 minutes without dropping a string or the sledge jamming once. Stuck it back in the shed till next year, marvellous.

If you want to share your troubles with fellow sufferers, there is a group for that ;)

A different type of evening tonight spending 3 hours helping a friend catch, halter and pull his in-calf Red Poll cow out of the River Blackbourne. Stripped to my shorts and steel toe cap boots, I still stink of ditch water after two showers
Nice to spend time with two of the three large animal vets and also with Stowmarket Retained and Bury Special Rescue Unimog and Water Rescue whole time
