Oh what a beauty Vinny!

I’ve got a baby growing on an old flower stem of an Orchid. It’s the one beginning with P but I can’t spell it!

Ted Ferguson was a rough and ready farm hand who moved next door to Vanda Campervan. Despite his age, Ted Ferguson had an eye for the women, especially those who wore red. He flashed his headlights and she winked back..............

(OK, I know, Ted doesn't have headlights - bet you had to look too.).

Just as a matter of interest (sorry for going all geeky on you) there were three British models the TEA being petrol powered. Then followed the TED which was the petrol parrafin model made for farmers to use. Paraffin was very cheap then so TED's have a dual tank, one for petrol to warm engine up then switch to run on (what was) a cheaper alternative of TVO vaporising oil (paraffin-ish)
Massey Ferguson then brought out the TEF which ran on diesel and was even cheaper to run on red diesel.

Edward is a good name for a tractor of this age Veggie, I was wondering what to call him/her.

Fascinating! Love the thought of the Little grey Fergies in the Antarctic. climbing 1 in 7 gradients on ice. There'll be no keeping you in this winter, Vinny.

Caterpillar!

Where there's one caterpillar...

More rain in the forecast after a few days of sunshine and no real frosts as yet - the tender veg still lives even though I had to scrape ice from the windscreen! Weird.
