Day 44 - In Norfolk with Fergie

Hi, this is Colin. I thought you might be interested this scene—here we are out in Norfolk in a crop of petits pois. The reason we’re out here is I’ve got Fergie with me who’s our managing director.

Mike Skipper reckoned it was too wet to get out of the car;-) Fergie, Richard and Garry My new wellies (new at the beginning of the season)

The gentleman in the pickup in the photo on the left is Mike Skipper. He’s the general manager for Anglian Pea Growers and he just reckoned it was too wet to get out of his car. In the middle picture, you can see Fergie in the white wellingtons, Richard Hurst who’s chairman of Anglian Pea Growers and Garry, the fieldsman who works for me. I took the snap on the right because I thought it was interesting also that at the beginning of the season I bought myself some new wellies and this is the first time i’ve had them on and here we are with just two days to go! I thought you’d find it it amusing how clean they are, but probably by the end of this half-hour they wont be:-)
