Chas has bought a new toy – a fork lift attachment to go on the back of the tractor. It is very shiny and red and can lift a ton which is just as well as all the fibre went up to the Wool Board in South Molton this week to start its journey north for scouring. Without it we would never have lifted all the wool sheets on to the flat bed trailer. And of course we will be able to take a pallet load of feed off the lorry rather than moving it bag by bag.
Anthony Turner came by to pick up more fleece for his needle felt insulation project. He said it was always raining when he came here whereas at his place there had been rain on only two occasions since April. It is hard to believe as we are sodden, with mud everywhere, perhaps someone could suck up some of the water here and convey it elsewhere.
