One load to Carlton store and area and another load to Carlton area, going as far south as the edge of Doncaster.  Since I was loaded the night before for the first load it was nearly possible to complete the days work on time.  I had to leave two drops off the second load otherwise I knew I had no chance and the company doesn't let us have night out money.  The first load went well enough and I got back to base with enough time to load the second load and get it out.  I finally ran out of driving time and had to give up and go back before completing the last drop, leaving it for another driver the following day.  On the way to the last drop I came across a sight I haven't seen for many years, a very old orchard made up of large fruit trees.  Not only was this orchard obviously ancient but it appeared to be well maintained with the grass surrounding the trees kept short.  I did stop and take some pictures but I'm afraid they don't do justice to the sight.

As I said the pictures don't do justice to the view.
