Once again a salubrious stopping place to stop for lunch, not the choice I would have made but I ran out of driving hours and only just made this drop. Some farmyards leave me with a sad feeling. Yards like this were once a hive of activity, you can tell from the buildings that in the
70's this place was loved and cared for by a forward looking and progressive farmer. Now, however, the neglect is showing and the whole place is running down towards demolition. I expect that in a few more years the site will be sold off with a couple of acres and turned into yet another equine fantasy land. Any remaining land will pass to another farmer. I know this is progress but I don't have to enjoy it.
Below is a picture of the rear of a highway maintainance truck which cut me up on the infamous Hopgrove roundabout on the A64. The driver not only cut me up but then proceeded to brake hard once he had obscured my view of the road in front. For a fellow HGV driver this was very poor driving and not at all of the usual standard that I have come to expect of fellow drivers.
The day wasn't bad for a Friday, I only had a small load but it compromised One store drop at Carlton and three farm drops followed by a collection from Friendship Estates. All was accomplished and partially unloaded by five pm. See you Monday.
