Harvest Home

[ttp2011]

Hi Steve,

I spread the word at our Robey Heritage Open Day Event over the weekend and quite a bit of interest has been shown by our visitors. I hope that this translates to cars at the gate, we are looking forward to coming down for the event.

We will pray for fine weather !

Regards,

Tom.

Our plough and cultivator are already on the farm. We will leave the Fowler in the vicinity following the ploughing day near Okehampton on the 26th September and drive Hero over from Cottonwood with the living van and watercart during the week before the Harvest Home weekend.

The locally owned pair of K7's are also expected.

Just thought I'd bring this event to the top again. Not long now!

I have my car and camera at the ready, we are looking forward to it as well.

Steam plough and cultivator onsite, some of the road signs being put out today, "Foster" thrashing drum been checked over and greased, "Cornish Maid" in shed ready for work, now all we need is the weather to play ball for the next week.
Have had a great response from vintage tractors wanting to work the ground, and at the moment we could have as many as 30 +, even a few stationary engines have asked to come along.

Went out to site yesterday and put the wearing bits back on the plough and cultivator.

Its a good sized field so we shall a reasonable length of rope out.

Just set up my faithful PC to give me weather forecasts for St Columb Major for the next week. Forecast is good with sunshine and cloud on Saturday max temp 19 C and Sunday cloudy max temp 20 C. For those who are still working with abbacuses and imperial measurements, the temperatures are 66 F and 68 F respectively so hopefully, it should be a good weekend.

Tom, i am going on Sunday what ever your Ju Ju man says about the weather! Im in the company's service on saturday.
Will you vintage BMW 5 series be on display too?

Hi Ian, I am pleased to hear that you are attending such a worthwhile event. The weather forecast for Sunday is supposed to be cloudy temperatures up to 20 C. With regard to vintage BMW, I have to empty it out first as we have been refurbishing our house and Angela has been using the BMW as a storeroom pending a visit to the local charity shop to make a sizeable donation. What she does not realise is that I emptied out the BMW last night into her car and it is now full and there is no room in the boot! In the Beemer I had to put the armrest down in the back so thet Keira would not be buried under a mass of bits and pieces destined for the shop when I went around a right hand bend in the road.

To be honest, I did not know that Steve was doing a classic car show, if he is, I will exhibit the BMW ! This will probably be the last time that I will be using the BMW as I want to turn it into a 50" Plasma 3D TV with a Bose sound system!

Regards,
Tom.
