The Countryside


I really love living in the countryside at this time of year.


Just a littlefurther up the A46 from the above shot, a bunch of dry stone wallers were busy repairing a half mile long stretch of wall. That's going to cost a packet.


Yesterday I collected Trigger's Ride-On Lawnmower from the repair shop in Wick. This time the wheels required aligning with the judicial application of heat and some welding. Thank God I found someone who is into repairing old machinery - looks like it will last me another year. Total cost for the repairs was £70 - a bargain.

The Allen Scythe is being worked on this week at Frampton Garage in Frampton Cotterell - the owner, Paul, has an interest in two stroke machinery has committed to removing the recalcitrant flywheel and getting it to fire up, if he can.
