We stopped to look at the machine not looking at the driver or the tables. Later when we got invited to join the locals table the driver said he thought we were looking odd at him moving tables with a JCB. I said no, we were looking at the machine. He said he was the farmer from across the road, so asked him was that his 7000 series Massey parked there. And the rest is history. We talked for ages.<br /><br />I don't think I said the Fordson was special. It's name is the Super Major if that's what you mean. There are loads of Fordsons about and there are loads used in the harbour industry.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment about the pictures I was using a new camera and I realise how little I know about photography.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-2572822321947285162020-03-29T22:27:48.737+01:002020-03-29T22:27:48.737+01:00I would like to have been a fly on the wall to wit...I would like to have been a fly on the wall to witness how the conversation was initially manipulated to focus on your subject. I can do the ssme thing when talking to somebody who has no interest or knowledge whatsoever in or of long distance walking - well done Alan. Love the pictures - I wouldn't have seen that Fordson as being special but I bow to your expertise.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.com
