Farmer , that's sad on both counts , and words fail me ...
To the 'crass' on food production , I as an old 'Naarfick' Bor was mucking out Saturdays on a pig farm before 13 yrs. old. Now an old tractor driver with 50 yr wings , I clearly remember being told as young'un that wheat is the ''Staff of life'' , and the more inhabitants of these blessed isles who are reminded of that the better .
More especially in this epidemic.
She's 'Bootful Bor' and with tongue firmly in cheek , she looks more a 'Bumble Bee than Wasp or Hornet , or is she meant to be a stealth type crop sprayer ? Pollinating those pesky wheat crops .
'crass will have a field day , that is if he or she knows 'wot a field is .
PS . ''kin great Straw Rolls'' , nah ! you have to get the name correct for 'c' .. they are of course BBC , Baked Bean Cans .
HP . Not many of them in Sarf Naarfick , I went to the highest 'skool there 80' AMSL . 50 yrs ago this month was flying PFLs on a Sunday morn [ don't tell 'c' ] in a C150E [still flying ] with a family friend who was a late wartime pilot . A wheat field we both knew had an hedge around it , no fence .. thus no structure . As we passed between 2 oaks about to G/A ... there trundling out from behind the oak came a Claas combine . Don't know who was more surprised .. him or us .
Bill Mc , that's a sad tale breaking the memory cycle . Does that mean you'd have to re-introduce farmed Parr to the upper reaches to reactivate memories and get the wild salmon running again ?
Rain has bashed some hilltop 850'amsl oats this week in N Daarset. But have memories from the 70's of an Inverness night stop , seeing barley being combined in the beginning of November .
yours Aye , and doom to naysayers ,
Brgds condor .
