Getting warm

One of the outdoor ornaments of our recent holiday home in North Devon. To wit, a working Fordson Tractor: we saw it puff and and we saw it move. We were also told that it is was painted RAF blue and probably started life hauling bombers around a Lincolnshire airfield.

Not much good for anything much now as it only sports a rather primitive tow bar and the power takeoff comes in the form of a wheel around which you can run a belt, rather in the way that a traction engine drives a threshing machine. No doubt H&S would be down on you like a ton of the proverbial bricks if you even so much as thought of giving it a go.

Current thinking is that maybe I will properly activate this volume 2 of pumpkinstrokemarrow at the beginning of October, when volume 1 will be just six years old and the list of months going down the left has reached maturity.
