TFF

 So this morning a JCB Teleporter towing a diesel bowser going at speed, leaves Eaubrink road (tire tracks visible going to the right)

 Still off the road.

 Just misses the hidden dyke.

 Continues skidding........

 Then careers to the left spilling diesel, destroys my front wall, completely, and ends up stranded in the mess of our front garden.

 The other section of wall to the right is split and fractured also.

This is where the front tyre of the tractor came to rest. This machine has a telescopic fork lift on the front, so it is amazing it did not hit the house. Even more amazing is the fact that my son Jacob was still asleep (he works late) and on being woken up stated "yeah, I thought I did hear a loud tractor and a brick fall" Jacob had a very near miss this morning and he is very lucky.

Darren's New Syncro??

I believe this is Darrens new camper. Neil will be very approving.
