What I do for you Bob - up and out at 7am when I heard the harvester at work! Very heavy showers too........... and dark! Visitors just arrived, back later............. Visitors departed and harvester still going strong with lights back on now it's dark again. Here's the rest of this morning's snaps I parked myself in the hedgerow near to the trailer - here she comes........ part filled trailer with sun rising behind and to the right - rain must have washed those spuds aligning......... discharging load 'new' unwashed by rain in the middle - looks like a sandwich! Most of the rest of the day has been dry and filled trailers have been leaving at regular intervals - Crisps coming up folks

Cor that brings back memories. Back in the 70's use to go spud harvesting.I did a season of hand picking the headlands, discovered muscles I didn't know I had, then about 3 weeks on the harvester sorting the spuds. The farmer had a field with a very mucky deep ditch running along 1 edge, one evening just around dusk the conveyor belt got jammed, one of the fella's on the harvester jumped off to fix it, whoops forgot about the ditch, wasn't exactly a pleasant smelling companion on the way home, I've never laughed so much. I only ever did one season hand picking, spent 3-4 seasons doing the harvester though.
