11/11/14

The eleventh day of the eleventh month, a time to remember those who gave their lives to ensure we have and enjoy freedom.  We shouldn't grumble about the small problems we encounter in the course of our lives, they are small things when compared with the horrors faced  by those young men in the trenches.  For all its faults the UK isn't a bad place to live.
Today has been an easy enough day, Carlton store and one farm drop then a collection from my favourite seed supplier.

I mean, would you really run a business that requires both incoming and out going trucks many times a day three miles down a road like this?  Flood defences down one side and a drop to the fields on the other side with visibility limited to around two hundred metres at the best.

But that's enough grumbling the two seed drops went well and I was back in the yard with enough time to load for tomorrow.  The only trouble is that I am one bag of horse feed short so I will have to call into out Gate Helmsley store on my way out to collect the last bag.  If the woman I met at the end of the road works is reading this please note I didn't jump the lights they had only just changed to green when I started through the road works. 

I don't know if anyone else finds this but the temporary traffic lights that work without hard wiring don't work.  The number of times that I have come across temporary wireless traffic lights that are out of sync is beyond count.  In fact I find it amazing if they are working correctly.  One other comment before I go, I am sighting more and more buzzards on my rounds.  When I was a child seeing a buzzard was an unusual event today I have seen at least four.  

See you tomorrow.
