It is very similar Neil, it is in fact this one:

They class it as both but it will be used as an office/studio for a home based business!! :-D

POTD-Tractor of the Day 73 reg

You can get a 23 reg one of these with only 115 hours on the clock for only £169,000. This 73 reg would probably be a few thousand more.

Can't help but wonder how much road driving your 73 pictured one has done! Look how worn the tyres are, relatively racing slicks Vs the near new big deep tread blocks on the 23 reg model that's for sale!

Ok, having zoomed in a bit it's less night and day as first thought (maybe my eyes are still waking up...) :)

Who knew :?: As well as me elevating it to the accolade of POTD, I find that for 2023 that thing is TOTY :-D

If I'd seen this thread earlier I'd have bagged a picture of a vintage Ford 4000 tractor in Robyn's village...

I'll try to do so tomorrow if it's still there...

The best I can do for today is a photo of some autumn leaves seen during a recovery run this afternoon...

The reason it's a recovery run can be found in my blog... Four miles under the circumstances was pretty good really...

Taken during another chesty and cough-ridden run... I'm sure it's doing me good ;) If not, it's still good to be out and about early on such a lovely morning :D

POTD Astronomy Club

If you flung open your curtains at 6:45 am GMT precisely this very morning in the United Kingdom just over 55° North, in a roughly South Easterly direction you may well have spotted this charming sight. You may have been compelled to get your camera right away to capture the moment, and provide a unique photograph to share with the entire world wide web via the FCF POTD Astronomy Club.

Wait no longer here it is...

I think I may have spotted it on Sunday the 29th October Neil, when the moon was full...

One of the many reasons I run so early is to see sights like that... I love looking up into a clear sky, especially of the moon is about...

I have no photo today but did have a small video sent to me this morning...

My granddaughter taking her very first steps and getting that hang of walking :D :cool:

I tried and failed to capture a still out of it... She wouldn't keep still!
