Day Nine - Tractor Girl

Dear all

Today was a big day for me. Despite having access and full usage of various forms of machinery up at the farm, bizarrely.. I had never been given the green light to drive the tractor. I have a good driving record ( just one 'car-in-a-ditch' episode, but that was erroneous ), the boys just seemed to look away or find a very urgent task to do whenever I bought it up... hmmmm.

Needless to say, no one could ignore my urgent requirement to do something unusual.. so Chris ( resident oracle at the inn ) stepped up to the plate. I was given a quick fire lesson in everything 'tractor' then I was off.. just with the minor disclaimer that I should avoid using the snow blower (very detrimental after a big melt ). Attached is the video of my maiden voyage.. now I warn you, it is certainly not high end in terms of cinematic excitement but it is nice to have such a momentous occasion on record.
