    What a carry on



    I never saw a need for a butterfly net but I've just spent ages chasing a Red Admiral round the house before I finally got him out
    I'm off to Amazon to get a net

    Grey Fergie. That takes me back a while. Is it TVO?

    There's nothing like a video of some mud to get you set up for the day.

    Snuck a couple of hives up to Glen Isla last night. Always fun moving bees in the dark. The ling heather is later than I've ever known - there wasn't a single flower out yet in the areas illuminated by my head torch. Pink buds are showing but it could be a week before it is flowering well. Large areas of dead heather stems to the south but immediately around the apiary site it looks fine.

    Locally the lime is still in flower here and there (ditto on the lateness). Will try to recover the harvest today.

    Problem with Fergies is they are very low horse power eg 20 or 35, but good in their day ! That looks like it could be a nice tractor restoration project, you can still get all the parts

    That's true but I only use the tractor for topping mowing the grass and a bit of ploughing and rotavating for potato planting with a small ridger
    The biggest bugbear is the PTO doesn't have a separate clutch
