Preparation for the Surrey County Show is in full swing and our kit has been driven over to the showground this afternoon in two convoys, this creates quite a buzz as everyone mucks in to help, past and present staff included.
Laurence drove the combine harvester which was followed by Luke with the tele-handler and trailer.
Next it was the turn of Ed driving the Claas xerion with cultivator and seeder.
Finally Edward driving the 640 and towing the header bar (the cutting bar of the combine harvester).
All this machinery will be displayed and driven around the main show ring tomorrow as part of the Surrey County Agricultural Society’s Annual show at Stoke Park, Guildford.

This year’s show will remember the impact of the First World War on Agriculture and features a tribute Sponsored by the NFU; marking the centenary of the outbreak of war at the start of the display and looking back at arable farming over the past 100 years.
It’s a great family day out with everything from the horse show to beekeeping, falconry, forestry and floristry to the Surrey Food Festival.
We know when it's a weekend or a Bank Holiday because something always tends to happen when fewer staff are available or the vets are on emergency call!
Last night it was the turn of one of the dogs cutting his paw and needing stiches, so that was my evening sorted...assisting the vet as it was just him on call and no nurse.
And today whilst the machinery was in transit, I received a call from a local couple who had found a poorly calf in the Glebe. Amanda and I got down there as soon as possible to search for the calf across the Glebe's 5 undulating grazing areas, a gorse clad hillside, woodland, hedgerows and ponds.
Having found the calf in a shady dell he was transported back to a barn for treatment; he has come down with pneumonia.
Polly’s piglets will be three weeks old tomorrow and she must be feeding them well as they are growing incredibly fast.
Sunday afternoon nap.
