Today NOT at work

[Shovelhands]

Yep, that second pic looks out over our empire. We own everything you can see.....


..................



For about 250 yards anyway!!



You didn't nip round then for a cuppa you miserable southern sod?!!!

You can't beat Warwickshire.

It was a spur of the moment thing, we are staying in Warwick, so not far away.

I could pop round for a cuppa, not sure the wife n kids would be too keen given our mutual appreciation of the three wheelers though!

Yes, you have a beautiful county Pete , your empire looks formidable

 

[Cab-over Pete]

No, their eyes tend to glaze over when the subject of spreaders raises its head!!

Have a good weekend.


You see..........once you've been to The Leafy County, it just keeps drawing you back!

 

[Wombat]

Then went for a root round the moor, and check the hoggs, grand day for it. Like this view.

Hoggs are away to the right of the Res'

Then sat and watched the wildlife.

Someone watched me back

Grand day.

My Dad at 80, a marvel and human dynamo .


Stood in front of the stables he built from bare timber some 31 years ago including the doors, concreting and brick courses, plumbing and wiring .


Today he gave it a coat of water based Cuprinol and tomorrow he's to barrow the 3 tons of rotted muck and double dig it in to his veg garden

A day off today. I took a friend to a CLA organised tour at Sizewell B nuclear power station.

It was a thoroughly interesting day.

Recommended.

 

[Shovelhands]

We went on a school trip to Bradwell nuclear power station when I was at primary school, fascinating
Can't see a primary school doing that nowadays

Had a rare day off from work today, decided to do stuff i wanted to do.

Got the SJ out that i bought a while ago, replaced missing suspension parts, fixed a fuel leak, tinkered with brakes and battery, it'll never be road legal but it's handy around the farm, and fun.

Then got the mezzanine for the workshop onto its legs and in place.
Need some ply now...

Had a little run on the fergie, she's come in to have her steering box swapped.
Runs like a champ!

Now....this sort of time last year, I distinctly remember my Mrs saying, after throwing a birthday party for our two little monsters, that that was the last party! We didn't need to do it again, she'd had enough....blah blah blah....

So why did I spend the afternoon making stuff for a party later this week!
Our lad is mad on Starwars at the mo, wanted a bit of a Starwars themed party. Well it's turned into an event! Mrs has the bright idea of making lightsabers for the kids to play with, then they can take them home as a bit of a party gift.....what a nice idea you may think.....I unfortunately commented on how these could be made......and guess what....talked myself into the job
I did get the Mrs involved, but funny enough she found other things to do

only got 18 of the bleedy things to do

proper Jedi warriors

they even had me finger braiding after that, as I was the only one who could remember how to do it, for another 'party' related item....but were 'doing it for the kids'

 

[holwellcourtfarm]

Had our annual trip down @Mrs Holwell brother this evening to remind us why we live where we live and work.

The view from his front door:

For the keen eyed that's the top of Chelsea FC's football stadium you can see over the roof

Home again now so we can breathe again

Finally got a few days away to Amsterdam.
