Cant beat listening to the old stories...people say what they like about harcombe ant nuttal etc iv never had anything to do with them but i take my hat off to them for still being at it at that age as much as most. Also theres a man in west wales he must be in his 70s real nice bloke has been at it years and still at it i wouldn't know what to do with myself if i didn't have the love for it, id be in jail i expect!

I love the old characters & there stories . My dad is one of these characters & boy did i get it drummed into me as what to do & what not too . Every hole had too have straight sides or I would get to know about it . He's 74 now with 2 artificial knees had a bad stroke & has loads of other problems but it never stops him from raking about with his dogs every day

Well went went out together today and had a look at he's permo , 500 acres of rolling hills and steep banks and all chalk and Flint lol. Got to say I enjoyed the day as we managed a 1.1 to my youngster in a sensible place , he stayed until I lifted him so I'm happy for he's first go . The old bloke made me laugh a couple of times as well, not intensional just him being him . He keep up with the walking and was in the digging and was as happy you like at the end with the result . We had a chat with the farmer and he was pleased and was on our case to come down again next week as he got more to go at . So all in all we had a good day with a few more to come in the future I hope ?.
