Digging and Draining

On Tuesday James, Michelle and the boys went to Diggerland near Durham  - a theme park with a definite theme - diggers! Young and old get to operate a multitude of machines and it was voted a great success. Yesterday James was back on our own mini digger, digging a ditch for a new drain (at the bottom of Strickley Hill, which is persistently wet) before we reseed. I'm not sure why he didn't ask for help from Robert and Chris. Today Henry wheeled out our home made gizmo for unwrapping a coil of pipe and laying it in the ditch.

You may remember a couple of weeks ago I posted an advert for 2 bulls and today one of them has gone off to Carlisle - Strickley Bruce (guess where his father came from!). It was a case of buy one get one - not free but for almost the sames price, as the buyer also bought Goldie 162 (a 5th calver and veteran of several shows). I'm sure they'll do well in their new home.
