A few pictures taken while working.

Some days it's miserable, every gate is shut and every light is red, even in Yorkshire.


Other days it's like this, you wonder if there really is a farm at the end of the track and secondly if there is will it be possible to turn round.  This track was around five miles long over the North Yorkshire Moors.  Yes there was a farm at the end of it and even better it was possible to turn round.  Thank goodness I didn't meet another truck on the way in or out, that would have made life interesting.



Other days it really is sunshine and flowers.  I had to stop and take the two pictures below on my way out of a farm which can only be described as "off the beaten track"  The track was just wide enough for the truck and had a couple of tight turns but the view was something else.  North Yorkshire at it's best.  This picture was taken a couple of years ago.


The view to my right on the way out.



The picture below shows what happens when the customer is unpleasant to the driver.  I unloaded the timber below by hand on my own after calling the customer as per instructions to let him know an estimated delivery time only to be told in a grumpy voice.  "This is no good is it?  I needed to know the day before."  The stack is tidy and neat, he can't complain but the catch is that it's impossible to pick it up with a fork lift!  Always be nice to the driver, it makes life easier in the long run.;-)


Below is another slowly dying rulley for my collection.


And another one.
