Osprey day sac, had one last year, great for days out and walking the hills ideal if you have children as always end up carrying a coat. Great brand no soggy back and weight displacement good. Around £45 so not horrendously expensive..... Tidy

Something out of the Argos catalogue which I can get with my Fuel Card NECTAR points.......

Before Nectar and it was just BP points for Argos... they used to pay for the bulk of XMAS. £1000s worth of Diesel used to add up for Argos.

Best present I can remember was a calf sled. Most used present ever I think. The wheelbarrow would be a close second except I bought myself that.

You bet, she’s determined to go , even looking at American pick ups on e bay !
What I’d like to know why do they leave bales of hay out in a field well into the winter - they must have a lot less rain

Why bring them in? Twice the yardage, stack and then use. Then you need a big enough bale yard too.

Easy to get when the frost is in, no ruts. Work as snow catches to keep snow in the field.

Plus it looks better on TV.

You really are quite unique , surely, in wanting a wheelbarrow for Christmas ..
