That second line rings so true to me. I spent all my weekends and holiday time on the dairy farm over the road, from aged 12. Learnt to drive on Fordson Majors, and A35 van. Riding on the 3 point linkage on the road.

First time of using a chainsaw I was left on my own cutting back overgrown hawthorn hedges. I was told to stand on the bonnet of the tractor so I could reach high enough, working on my own. No PPE, no chain brake, and no mobile. I survived. I wouldn't change anything if I had my early years again.

PS No Playstations or X Boxes, whatever they are. Better off building tunnels with hay bales in the barn.

 

 

Now there's another fond childhood memory. Building tunnels in hay barns. And trying, but never succeeding, in catching any of the hundreds of stray kittens that always lived in them.

 

A few years later we did actually find something good in a neighbour's hay barn. Some different kind of pussies. His elder brother's "top shelf magazine" stash! Imagine our glee as 12 - 14 year olds.

Ee by gum, nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

That’s true.

It’s tragic to think that hedge porn is a thrill that is denied to current and future generations.

I'll never forget the Escort Christmas special. It was a hawthorn hedge adjacent to a field entrance from a C road.

"Santa Comes But Once A Year!". I knew he'd be ok that year as soon as I saw his new elf recruits on page 4.
