Davies Int. Southampton. With photos (Part 2)

Yes Buzzer seems a bit stupid to not let you have cattle grazing it would make sense to me but the stupid council would rather just let it go to waist, Gerbil

Hay looks good Wrighty, and weather just right for that job. Gerbil

Looks like rain (?)… Well that’s what we always said as kids if the cows were all lying down! :grinning:

And by heck we got some, but needed round here Buzzer

Hear we have a shot of our old house where our initial operations were run from, moving the fax machine of the kitchen table at meal times until we had a small office in the garden, from little acorns mighty oaks grow as the saying goes Buzzer


As can be seen by the telegraph pole outside the White Swan back in the day we had over 30 phone lines coming in to handle the expanding workload :joy: :joy: :joy:

The third generation off to his Prom in the only fitting transport of course, Buzzer


Young Tommy who is already high up with his dad and uncle both short asses.

Evening Buzzer

Still here just busy snatching a bit of crop between wet days, plenty of crop left to get but it’s a slow job this year. The fields are still very soft and we have had the baler stuck a couple of times, the trailers are also leaving ruts in the fields but we will get through it we always do…

Fresh cattle are looking well and should do well.

Busy on the work front been down Crediton this morning and loaded out of Taunton for upt north.

Cheers Wrighty.
