Like a swamp apparently when it's 'proper wet' and needs about 800mm putting in there to return it to where it once was :thumme:

..... so I'm told !! :vissla:

Must be well over a 12 month since I was down in there with the guy whose field it is and he showed me what he'd like filled up.

as for why .... combination of wash out, animal erosion and gert tyres ripping into it trying to get traction climbing out of there

Photos don't really show it very well at all, I'm afraid :sad:

..... gonna be bloody steep going in, skip first, but going to have to, to lay some out in front of me, as I drop in there. :eek:

was going to have a go at it today ........ but ...................

bloody weddings ..... :aaargh:

one in particular today .... :huh:

day knackered .... :sad:

granny and mummy welded to 'the box', with Clara (for about 2 minutes) ... the rest of the day with me :smile:

and a long one it's been too .!! :eek:

Perfect dross shifting day :sad:

.... hopefully, so too will be Monday, et seq :vissla:

Never mind ..... she'll only be this small once :vissla:

..... and she's had a great day with grand-dad :grin:

Now to go put everything away !!!! :huh:

**#917** » 23:35:32, 19-05-2018

Yep, and in a few years time she´ll be either driving the Drema or the Thwaites together with you! :driver:

So, time to start to show her the wrinkles :thummar:

**#918** » 01:29:43, 20-05-2018

Aye very true Mags :vissla:

..... she's a sharp lil' cookie for two and a half :grin:

.... you forget sometimes she is so young :huh:

been playing with Pam's camera half the day ... didn't take her long to grasp how to suss what she was taking, by looking at the screen on the back ...... she actually took some quite decent pix, considering :vissla:

her actual physical size will be her major draw back soon :grin:

and that will frustrate the hell out of her :eek:

**#920** » 10:06:37, 20-05-2018

Yep, got one the same age at me oldest Son! She unlocked the keypadlock on her Dads workphone with dual SIM in a jif. Lucky for him it was me she phoned and not some of their major clients!! :vissla:

I bet Clara at 12-15 years of age will beat you to it driving/digging with Drema if she gets the opportunity to start pratice! :shake_hands:

(Am I goin´to get this served on a plate later on to eat raw?) :lmao:

Aye they're pretty savvy these days Mags :vissla:

..... soon as those lil' legs are long enough, to reach the pedals :eek:

I'll be having to hide the keys :skratta3:

**#922** » 13:46:26, 21-05-2018

...or tell her whatand where to dig!! :thummar:

**#923** » 01:42:55, 22-05-2018

aye Mags ...... by the time she's big enough, I doubt I'll be able to climb into the cab anyway :sad:

... be past 70 by then ... if I get there :vissla:

**#924** » 01:49:55, 22-05-2018

Much as I love the lil' bugger :vissla:

Install a lift! Then you´ll get up even after 80, I´ll bet!

That cat reminds me of the neighbours cat.
He was suicidal but went quietly after an infection at the age of 15 years!

He loved to climb up and rest under the small splashguard, on the rear tyre on me MF 165.
He also had taken it as his duty to inspect when one cleared Snow.
On particular time I was down to help the Neighbour.
There we were, 2 tractors, and the Cat took a "seat" in one newly cleared strip, perfectly calm, me coming one side and the neighbour on the other side!
There are more to tell about this Cat... numerous stories!

LOL Mags

..... I'll bet there are plenty of tales to tell.

Our lil' fella is quietly losing the plot and 'gets lost' sometimes ... he can be sat 3m from the door and just seems to have no idea where he is --- sits there howling until we go find him :vissla:

he's 15 too and very much part of the family.

I'd love to know who he was in a previous existence, 'cos he has had a hell of a good life in this one :grin:

.... aside from nearly losing a leg when he was a youngster :sad:

...... but a brilliant orthopedic Veterinary surgeon rebuilt him ... at a price :eek:

Sparty will sit there and watch the bucket come past his nose :eek:

or in the middle of the driveway and expect you to stop and move him to get past him :vissla:

At full snowstorm from the west and Cat´s taking a stroll on the rooftop of the barn! Looked like he considered it a beautiful sunny day!
Wind was of that kind I didn´t go out that day!!

Sparts loves to go out when it's throwing it down with rain, get soaked and come in to be toweled dry :grin:

......... again and again and again and .... ......... you get the idea :vissla:

but has always done it :huh:

**#930** » 20:43:45, 22-05-2018

got a bit late last night to bang these few in :vissla:

..... early kick off with Clara this morning and I was knacked .... :huh:

a long way back up from the gateway I'm tipping into ...... :sad:

some careful tipping got it relatively spread, but have to be on the ball with the tip/swivel lever, to get it where i want it ... :thumme:

getting there though :smile:

.... few more loads'll have it looking a bit more accessible :driver:

... I might consider taking Jakie down in there to square it about a bit more :thummar:

....doesn't look so daunting as it did and can turn around in the far field now, without fear of getting trapped in the hole :eek:

'tis a long way down to get to it though .... and pretty steep :sad:
