As you know we have finished our crops and have gone off to help a neighbouring group with theirs. Over the season you have seen most off the "Team", but there were two missing. On the left above is Gareth, who is the proud father of Jenson Jack. Now that mother and baby are home he has returned to the fold. Can't think why! Also in the picture is Gordon who has been with us in the peas since 1986. As well as repairing the machines when there are problems, not with a big hammer all the time, he walks miles each day fine tuning the settings to produce the best sample possible. At times you will see him run across the field when he hears that something is wrong with a viner. He's the fittest man of his age I know. Simon at CLT could take a leaf out of his book. Today the two viners working near Boston will finally return to base, be cleaned and go off to PMC for their overhaul. Whilst the new machine continues elsewhere for the time being. Not read the weekend papers yet, so nothing to bang on about. Good I hear you say!
