  • Happy New Year everybody

    Well this weather is a nice change it's lovely and cold out on the farm. We had our shoot last Saturday. The bike was used all day to ferry beaters and the odd walking gun around the farm. It's amazing how many people you can get on a bike and logic trailer (4 on the bike 6 in the trailer), but...

So, while busy, working away i noticed...
