In March New Holland Agriculture announced the official inauguration of Ntlo ya Lerato Rhino Orphanage the donation of a TT55 tractor to support the wildlife reserve located in South Africa’s Limpopo Province.

First Lambs
21 March 2012
As I write this my first lambs of the spring are standing up and having their first feed. They must have been born at about 6.30am, as while we were getting up my little girl Lili ran out to the shed to see if there were any lambs and then came running in shouting “There’s lambs! There’s lambs!” I was certain she was joking, as they were only due to start lambing on that day and it seemed a bit unlikely that some would arrive as punctually as that.
The Joys of tractor travel
1 March 2012
Some of you may know that not so long ago I wrote a book about my travels around Wales on my Massey Ferguson 35. Recently a photographer from the ‘Wales on Sunday’ newspaper came to photograph me with the tractor, as they are writing an item about my book. Now for me, pretty much every day is a bad hair day, but today was even worse than normal, as I hadn’t slept well and it was blowing a gale outside, so the old home trimmed barnet was well and truly out of control, and I didn’t stand a chance of looking even vaguely human in the pictures.Videos
