Gremlin, glad I made your day! Sounds like you enjoyed it and I imagine it can be quite satisfying, working on the land like that. We used to live in a cottage on the edge of a big estate in Wiltshire, surrounded by fields, and the only traffic past our front door was tractors most of the time.
Funnily enough today we were driving from Morecambe into Lancaster and came across a sponsored tractor drive from John O'Groats to Land's End - with a woman at the wheel!
