I regard fourteen as an unlucky number for me so I approached the day with resignation and patience. I was seed dressing all day and my first call was well above Whitby near Saltburn by Sea. I have dressed seed here before, though only once, so I knew what to expect and it wasn't bad. But when the trailer was backed up to the half tub I use as a reception hopper there was a problem, as shown in the picture below, the tipping chute was almost twice as wide as the tub.
However with a little ingenuity on the part of the customer and an empty tonne potato bag and two mole grips and two G clamps on my part we came up with a very satisfactory system and it didn't leak grain. All went well and though I arrived half an hour late I left on time. The second customer was in the middle of Thornton le Dale and, embarrassingly, though I could see the farm I couldn't for the life of me remember how to find the entrance to the yard and had to call the customer. As it turned out I should have taken notice of the map I found on the post code finder it was correct. Again all went well and the job was completed quickly and well. The last customer was the customer who I didn't get to on Monday, but I arrived half an hour early and again the job went well and I was back in the yard by half past four and clocked off by ten to five for a change. See you Monday, seed dressing again.
