Walking and Taxis

Walks and tractors

One of the highlights I have whilst being on lockdown is being able to collect the little bestie from her work and ferry her to either a field to work with the tractor (tractor tests are another story and you can read about them here) or bringing her to and from work.
Today just after 11am I went to Lizzies work to collect her from the diary farm and take her to another farm in Nailstone to carry on with tractor driving.  Something she loves.

Today’s job after milking was subsoiling, something I don’t think she’s done before.
After a quick lesson (out of cab with social distancing maintained).  She was off...

And with that the beastie and I set off walking the field margins for a change of scenery.   She was a little sod to start of with. Wanting to chase anything that flew or fluttered.

I’m not quite brave enough to let her off in a field that isn’t enclosed, As I’m pretty sure she’d run to the moon and back after a bleeping butterfly 🦋 so she ran in circles on the long line. When she had run some energy off we went back to working on walking to heel.   She’s definitely getting better even if she does forget herself every now and then. She was on a slack lead and it was a pleasure.

When we got to the top end of the field I took a few moments to video Lizzie driving the tractor and working.   Easier said than done with the beastie, you’ll see on the video it sakes.  Well that’s because she was wrapping me up like a bloody maypole going round and round me in circles until I couldn’t move my feet.

A walk back to the car and we were off home. Where she’s been fast asleep 💤  ever since.  I imagine she’ll still be growling at me 8pm where she wants me to go upstairs  so she can sleep on our bed!

Thank you for reading 

Lots of love
