What a lovely delay!
What a lovely delay!
Some people might see being stuck behind a tractor as a bit of a pain and, if you’re on a main road I get it but out in the countryside, I love it. Few things make you realise you’re out of town than seeing a teenager driving something the size of a small house spraying mud and cow manure from its huge rear tyres at you.
Something not quite as common but ten times as fun is driving up to the hall just in time for the cows from the local dairy to be moved from milking shed to the fields. My current car, a Renault Kangoo is jet black with tinted windows so it blends in with the herd quite well. Not quite well enough to sneak into the fields with them, but enough for it to get a lot of interested looks from the group.
It might just be me, but I love taking a minute to get out of the car, have a quick chat with the farmer and watch as they do their thing and patiently steer these 1-ton lawnmowers from place to place. The farmer usually starts to the conversation with an apology, but I couldn’t be happier!
