R & R

 We have had a couple of days with my brother...relaxing, no driving.. except for today when he did the driving!

Walking and a garden centre lunch yesterday, then Glastonbury today to see a very tall potter friend at his stall in the market, mooch around other markets and galleries before going around the Somerset Rural Life museum again...and giving brother a year's pass there!

A nice wander around , rounded off by lunch in the café there. 

Back to pack ready for an early start tomorrow.

Pirates grandad had a Suffolk Punch called Punch too....

tractors!!!!....and happy 70th Fergie

 Little Grey Fergies doing all sorts of things. Well it is the Ferguson Grey tractor's 70th birthday this year!

 not just pulling....

and tractors of many hues-

 one from Denmark,originally...

 and one like he learned to drive on....age nine....

 one of the three remaining 1930 Fergies

 and the original tractor...a Clydesdale Horse!

There were all sorts of cars, a few bikes, many stationary engines and implements to follow tractors or horses. All sorts of stalls, food tents and a craft tent.The lorries were in the car park of the mart as it was so muddy.

They included this one....one of just over 130 tank transporters, ten of which the 5 year old Pirate saw lined up ready to go to France in the orchard in Kent where he was born.

A Thought

To sit and watch unmoving, to listen silently.

How often do we do that?

A walk in Bouth, Cumbria, last weekend
