The lad in question..That 12 yr old was only 10.
View attachment 43619 View attachment 43620 He is gone. Very happy with what water is moving . That box shorebstill has as much flow out of it. No wonder it was a swamp with that held up. A lot of stuff to move though. A bit of a rock too.

You will be able to cut silage there in June and that will make a nice picnic table when Mrs. jf brings the basket of sandwiches .
@agreid . I never ate the sambos on the table. I got a shock looking for this post . I thought it in jf850s pics , and could have sworn spring 2018 . Couldn't find it , so put in picnic basket , which had lodged in my feeble brain . And it was 2017 .:eek3:
Didn't put any shores in it after cleaning the drain . It got 3000 gallons of slurry twice a year and 2 to 2.5 bags of 18/6/12 plus 1 bag of 24/2.5/10 in each of the 2 years since . It was a godsend in the drought of 2018 . Had a fleece of grass which I strip grazed . I let weanlings out on it today . Looks well , considering it wasn't reseeded

It scrubbed up well ,do the cattle scratch off it .I notice here cattle will bore holes in fields surrounded with fencer wire but would also bulldoze a hedge and round stones half way out the field .
You haven't changed a bitI found this photo in an aunts photo album . She died 3 weeks ago , aged 92 and emigrated to England 73 years ago. My father often talks of driving this tractor in his youth , but I never saw any sort of photo of it before . It was a Saunderson Model G , and was built in 1919 , we think . Itself and a Peacock portable steam engine were sold for scrap in the late 50s by long deceased uncles of my father , for he thinks £50 . A criminal sin. :tdown:. The chap standing at the front wheel was 85 last month.
Sorry but it seems sideways.
