Tractors and Combines

Awoke to the news that foot and mouth was back in the country, you never have to look far to find someone worse of than yourself. Our thoughts go out to the farmer in Surrey who will be losing his livestock later today. Let’s hope the government are a little quicker off the mark this time.
At last summer seems to be here and William, Cath, Gillie and Granma went off to see Pappa harvesting (on an arable farm). When they arrived at break time, the field contained not only two tractors but also three combine harvesters. More farm machinery than one little boy could dream of, he had a smile from ear to ear.
The afternoon hailed the arrival of one of Cath’s old university friends Jo, her husband Steve and their little girl Evie who is just three weeks younger than William. William and Evie have had a ball playing together and managed to almost empty the bath between them with their splashing.
We truly appreciate the support that everyone is giving us through this time. A particular thank you to those who have contacted us through David McNally’s page your stories and encouragement offer us great hope.
