Yeah, we had a combine harvester. It was when we bought … he come home one day and I told him I said, “You keep going to these farm sales” I said, “Don’t keep buying things” I said. I said, “We haven’t got a lot of money” I said, “Time you borrow it from the Bank and pay everything” I said, “It’s hardly worth it.” I said, “Have people in to do it, it’s far cheaper.”

He did in the end, he came round to it more. But he always wanted to have his own machinery. Oh God, some of the old things we had. Penny and I went back down to Roslin one day and that’s outside the door wasn’t it?
