Gone Truckin ..... I wish !!!!!!!

 

Have I been missed ! ... Ive been considering changing my profession !!

 

Some people might know that I grew up around HGV's my Dad had his own haulage business and I always wanted to be a driver !  But he didn't want to encourage me .. I think he thought he might never get retired if he had !  So I took a slightly different path, however that desire has always burned brightly. 

 

 

I had a great surprise on Wednesday ... when we were greeted by this coming up my little track to the farm.  I usually make sure that big wagons don't venture up to the farm, but this was a visit with a difference.  All those years ago, my dad used to take Kingsly with him driving and Kingsly grew up around wagons and he did indeed became a HGV driver !  He now drives all over the country delivering huge cranes to building sites.  This is what hauls them to their destination, what a gorgeous wagon and it must be great to be behind the wheel tramping down the motorways with this bit of kit ! 

 

There was a crane to be delivered to Dyce and one to collect to take back to the North East.... so I got a massive surprise to see this on a farm visit.  I have made some arrangements, if there is ever a need for a spare driver.... I'm first in the queue. 

 

I did manage a little drive !  I couldn't resist having a go ... its a bit of a tight squeeze up here but we managed ..... I'm now reconsidering my future .. farming or trucking .... that is the question !!

 

It was a lovely surprise to see my visitors ... but I'm just a bit envious .... I could see me trading the overall for a truck !

 

On the farm side of things, we are still doing battle with Zirrianna and her skin problems, we are not exactly winning that war just yet. I've had a few other issues which are still on going regarding Zonda, she has been quite poorly lately. 

 

So this was a nice surprise visit.
