Wall to wall sunshine. I'm off to Casterton in a while. Staying at the Ferry Meadows caravan site at Peterborough.

If I set off now, I should get there by nightfall...................

the planted rape doesn't look too good.

Desperately need some rain, Pret - and don't get me started on Flea Beetle...................

Wonderful spell of weather. Hope it holds for the weekend. I'm off to Casterton in Lincolnshire for the annual vintage machinery and combine harvester show.

Well worth attending if anyone is in the area.. Saturday noon until sixish, and Sunday ten until five.

It is now beginning to clear with a hint of sun. It's been cool for the time of year, but that's autumn, I suppose........

Bercow has resigned.

Ffukin good job, jumped up little shit - well, he has not exactly resigned, just said that he will not seek re-election when the General Election comes - which won't be too far away.
