Great Pics Joe :thumbs_up:

Keep em coming mate ;)

Still can't believe you would want to move down here though mate :dizzy: You will always be an "outsider" to the locals mate, My other halfs parents have been down over 30 yrs and they are still classed as outsiders :lol: :lol:

If it wasn't for my Mrs I would be back up in the real world in a flash!!

Nick :P

Well Joe, anywhere the other side of Bristol to the North and Bridport to the South East !! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just my opinion of course ;) You may come down and get on famously, but it is a different world believe me, a lot of Farmers down here who have just branched out into plant but still want to pay agri wages and conditions :x

Nick :P

J C Balls is quite a big company isn't Joe :thumbs_up: They even have their own dancing diggers display team I believe 8-)
Kevin Balls is also into restoring classic machines too and makes a really good job of them 8-) :thumbs_up:

All there Vintage plant is imaculate im trying to find out if they are going to a local steam rally next week end and to cromford rally.

If they do im taking my camera up there and getting some pictures.
