Potato lifting
Colin here, down by the river now between Easby and Richmond.
It’s funny though seeing all this water comes back into mind of course the very hot, dry pea season that we had and then the minute we finish that and we got into August it was followed by a very very wet period. In fact I think we actually recorded rain on every day of august at Lowestoft.
The problem that is giving us is lifting potatoes.
As we’re not able to lift regularly for our daily supplies because of the weather and it being too wet so we’re having to look and buy a little bit in terms of making sure we can get our supplies from elsewhere in the country and we get back onto good going, as it were.
Anyway, catch you later.

I worked in the field office with Simon Pratt for 4 summers during the pea harvest. It was a great job and I really enjoyed it.
I don't get back to the UK much these days but when I do I always look out for the pea wagons and wonder if Blue group still always wants to work their field breaks whereas Black would always politely decline....
