O.H has been very busy today on his new toy, a little tractor he has purchased running back and forth with bags of horse manure from his wife's stable to the Lottie. I think the wheelbarrow is a thing of the past now :lol: :lol:
All the best

Not to say why his wife lives in a stable, is it because cook is in the house?

The tractor is a 24hp Kubota, just the right size for my needs. :) And my wife is aloud out of the stable, on cooks day off, that is. :)

And my wheelbarrow will always have a part to play in my life. :)
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

I've never driven one but an excellent little tractor from all reports. Hydrostatic transmission with a 3 cylinder diesel should be cheap to run.

Have fun.

I want one.
How are you supposed to start and maintain a healthy lifestyle if it completely removes a wine lover’s reason to live?

Actually I thought I saw OH's redundant wheelbarrow on tv last night in the Young Musician of the Year finals where a 15 year old percussionist was playing drums, a dustbin lid, OH's wheelbarrow, pots & plans and a beer bottle! Thankfully it seems that OH had washed out the manure from the wheelbarrow first ! :lol:

So OH did you leave the rest of your rice crop to mature after you'd trimmed the headland?
Amazing what the winter floods have encouraged people to try.
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

Don't egg him on Peter.! He and old codger have probably already cornered the local runner bean market and now they're after the rice harvest as well, We will all know where to head when we have nothing to accompany our curries or our sweet and sour pork,
