Is that an ash tree? They are notorious for being shallow rooted. There's one back home growing in the hedge about 6' above a ditch and some of the roots have grown under the ditch and back up to just below the ground on the other side. Plough up ash roots going round the headlands every year.

Can't really tell from the photo but the leaves don't look big enough to be sycamore.

Had this to load muck with today, can't say I've seen one like it before with the lift rams on the side pushing backwards. Remarkably good condition for its age.

Was it a hot day,,, bet you were glad the air con was working,,,,, ,harvesting black currants with a neighbour last year (late June July early August,) chief bin loader with one of them,, after being spoiled on the latest es JCB loaders woth joystick and direction co trol etc it was an experience,, I'd have to say, and the brakes were shot, and the boom would drop slowly while traveling, and the fan didn't work, or the radio,
Suffice to say say loader is now confined to doing nowt at a local wood yard and Derek has a 3 year old JCB loadall from your man in Powys mmmmm mr mellor I think,

Have you retreated indoors yet?

I took this around 7.30. It will take a sup more rain to end scarcity.

Unreal isn't it.
I'm glad Wales has stuck to it's guns.
I was driving through a town on the Lleyn Peninsula today, to view some cattle, and the town would usually be packed with tourists and hard to get through in the car. Was like a ghost town. Depressing to see all the caravan parks and whatnot closed but necessary I think. It would have been the same story there otherwise.
