Donner und Blitzen

What a start to our last week here at the Red Lion Farm, wind, rain, thunder& lightning and with a bit of sunshine thrown into the mix.


Still work has gone to plan on the trailer it has now been fitted with an extra clamp for the jockey wheel and that now solves the problem of the cycles getting hooked up, as the wheel can be stored in the horizontal position when on tow.

I've ordered the long vehicle hazard board that will finish off the needed bit of regulatory equipment that will be compulsory for Spain.
How to fit it? well that's anouther problem to overcome, as I can't use the magnetic version that I had originally  planned to use as the legal requirement is that it must be on an aluminium board 200mm X 1130mm, I just hope it arrives before we depart.






I will be sad to leave this site as the people we have met like Zeta and Phil have become good friends. The owners are a very nice family and we will miss the sons regular smiling face as he bounds about the farm leading the animals like Dr Doolittle with his dog Buster close at heel, there will be just one character here that I will be glad to see the back of and that's Graham's new Rooster Rambo and his early morning crowing, I still have dreams of him sitting on a nice nest of Sage and Onion stuffing at gas mark 4.

The site looks quite empty at the moment but no doubt it will fill for the weekend.
