Ooooooo that's some smart lorry Renee - is that a Merc? Your luton looks like ours - plenty of room to shove a couple of human bodies up there to sleep out of the way!
How's it divided inside? Rear ramp? Just being nosey!! Like you I used to love driving my old lorry years ago (round the UK though, not Europe!) to the shows etc. The horses loved it too - think they enjoyed getting away for the day/few days. LOL!!
Cassie, hope this good weather means that you will be able to get some sunshine to your bad foot?
Megan tractors are all manual in the sense that they have gears like a car, but they have loads of extra gears as well (well the modern ones do!) and like some modern lorries, you can select a gear before you actually need it and lock it in when you want it (well I know what I mean LOL!!) Which is why I wouldnt want to start tractor driving again now with the new ones!!
Been extra busy myself the last couple of weeks as I have moved up from my mobile home in the garden into the house for the winter months. We have been decorating the house so I now have the 'big' bedroom, with loads of cupboard/wardrobe space including the house's airing cupboard, plus a radiator in the hall just outside, so boy I'm cooking!! The mobile was just getting more cold and pretty damp as the weather changed (too expensive to heat it properly during the cold weather, so I'm just not used to this amount of warmth - IT'S WONDERFUL!!
But it has been a 'amusing' two weeks. I was worried about one of the cats (my personal one) who had always lived down in my mobile and was always too nervous to enter the main house (other cats/terriers/noisy humans), so I got my bedroom all set up with my bed and familiar furniture from the mobile, then I got a ladder and set it up against the roof of the porch below my window and then lean't out the window and called her - knew she would come as, unusually for cats, she comes to call and follows me everywhere - she ran to the porch, ran round it, found the ladder and up she came! Having found my bedroom with all its familar things, plus her food bowl and water, and of course M stretched out on the bed (!), she has settled beautifully. I leave the window open all the time so she can come and go, and now when I enter the house by the back door, she races round to her ladder to meet me upstairs, bless her. Trouble is that the other cats have now discovered the ladder and, rather than use the catflap and risk getting chased by a naughty JR most every time she hears it flap open or shut, they ALL use my room to enter and exit the house - and pinch my girl's food instead of their own downstairs!! What we put up with for our furkids, bless them!!
