The clear out continues of all my old tat !!!

This may be handy if you have a large area to paint:

I love the seed drill.

And surely someone here will want to snap up the old colours T&E!

I'll be quite happy if the seed drill goes for the starting bid of 99 pence
if it goes to someone who appreciates it. I can't face scrapping it which is
why it's been in my yard for the last 6 years since I found it :)

I know *exactly* how you feel. Equally, if I took it off your hands I
would only be doing what you are doing in six years time!

(We are *thinking* about harrowing using one of our mules instead of the
tractor, but our plot is too uneven for a seed drill of that size, even
if we were sowing anything other than grass).

I loved the collection on ebay. I so want to wander round Andrew's yard! :)

Sort of thing that used to lie in hedgerows around farms in the
dozens including ours back in the sixties. Then there was that 70's
80's fad to fill pubs with old tat to create "atmosphere". When that
phase passed a lot of things were just skipped and lost.
Not many things left in hedges now as pikeys have found most of them.
Hopefully whoever takes the drill will keep it intact but sadly many
want it for the wheels only to decorate a wall or something until the
next decor change when they will be lost.

I think we need to be told. Just how does one 'find' something like a
seed drill?

There's a less than complete set of remains of something similar, half
covered by brambles, by a farm gate on my dog walking route. Amazing
that the pikeys havn't had it.

Simples :

When we bought this place 6 - 7 years ago the main field hadn't been cut in
decades. The grass and undergrowth was chest high in places. Previous owners
ran a greyhound training establishment, and just had the periphery cut as a
walking exercise track, and a central track that they used lined with hay
bales as a racing track complete with 'hare on a string'. When I got a
contractor in to give it it's first cut we stumbled upon the seed drill.
