In fact since we have to keep MSUK happy, and Morgans and AC Sociables dance to the easier tunes of ACU, who is the tractor controlling body? Or can Little Grey Fergies and one pop Field Marshalls race and sprint to their hearts’ content? Anyone else hiding indoors as the workshop is unreachable due to gales and forty five degree very heavy rain indeed, or are that just the delight of South Wales?
I've given up working in the garage for the moment. It's just too cold, and a domestic fan heater seems to make no difference at all. Though today the forecast is eleven degrees! Luckily I can work on 1955 Austin seats in the house. Back on the sewing machine this week.
As for the tractor run, I don't think they need to follow any regulations at all. It's just 800 friends going for a drive in 400 tractors. It raises a lot of money for charity and is to remember one young farmer that died in an accident six years ago. Everyone seems to love it!
