The first load of beet tipped on the pad for this campaign. Not going to be an exciting outcome I feel 😢🤦‍♂️

Arrived back in the UK this evening, 2131 miles, 14 fuel stops, great food and beverages, fantastic roads and scenery. Dropped in to see my Gt Uncle who was killed right at the end of The War, so close to going home. Bikes were a dream 👌👍🏍️🏍️ @BMWMotorrad #GS1300

Following the law
🔺 BREAKING: Southampton Docks and Portsmouth’s main harbour reportedly DENIED entry to RNLI lifeboats carrying migrants on Sunday, forcing them to land at Eastney instead. A broadcast over open marine VHF radio stated that Southampton Vessel Traffic Service and King’s Harbour Master Portsmouth had denied the RNLI permission to enter either port or their approaches. The message warned the Bembridge and Yarmouth RNLI coxswains that failure to comply could result in direct criminal prosecution. The lifeboats ultimately landed at Eastney, Portsmouth.

So it’s appears as though the 0.5mm of rain in April and the 26mm in May isn’t enough to grow more than about 6t/ha of wheat 🌾. I’m thinking I may even have given @essexpeasant a run for his money on the driest County this year🤔🫢🤦‍♂️

I’m sure @BASISRegLtd should have not changed their old system for getting cpd points allocated! Why do we have to have all these ‘apps’, technology for technology sake half the time. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it comes to mind 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😆😂

Very proud moment for me and Amanda yesterday. Jack’s passing out parade was just outstanding after his 10 weeks basic training. Now serving in the Royal Navy. A fantastic achievement for everyone involved. Well Done! ❤️
