Well how are yu all a’gettin on t’gether?
Since I last had a word a’long with yu we hev hed a drop o’rain. Mind yu that hant bin enough, we did nev a night when there were a few tempests about. There were a rare old clap o’thunder overhead, that woke me up und I could hear the old rain a’cumin down. That finished afore I got up und when I went out on my old bike you could see there hed bin a rare drop o’water cos there were stones und soil a washed out onto the road where the water hed run. Du yu know, when I rode up the footpath t’the Norridge road the water were running suffin fast under the footbridge. I’ll tell yu suffin else, when I rode over the footbridge the following morning the ditch were dry as a bone agin.
Since we had that drop o’rain the land is still dry, I see a tractor cultivating tuther day und there were dust a’blowin. Cos the next thing the farmers are a’goin t’be thinkin about is how are they a’goin t’git them old sugarbeet outa the ground. Mind yu they will be leaving them old beet in the ground as long as possible t’see if they grow a bit more.
still they recon there a’goin the be sum more rain at the end o’this week. Thas hope that don’t affect the Wayland Show which is goin t’be on again this comin Sunday (4th Sept)
The tuther mornin when we got up und looked outa the bedroom window we see the road outside the house had a lot o’water runnin down it, at fust we thought that had bin raining agin but then we noticed that were only wet on the far side o’the road. When we went out und had a look we could see that the water were cummin outa the bank where there were water a bubbling outa the ground. That were reported und somebody cum out und hed a look. They put signs up that said the road were closed, only that wernt cos they dint block the road orf und there were still room t’drive a car past They cum out at about ten o’clock at night und dug a hole in the bank t’repair the leak but arter they’d finished they din’t fill the hole in. We ha’a wait the best part of a week for them t’cum back t’fill the hole in und teak the signs away.
I went up t’Carra Rood tuther week t’see them Canaries play a cup game. That were a good game with plenty o’goals und a penalty shoot out t’decide who went through t’the next round. There were six on us there including our two Grandsons who enjoyed it. Although they live away their Father hev made sure they are still support the Canaries.
Them City players arnt doin to bad in the league at the moment havin won their last four games.
I see they are a’havin an evening o’pig racing at the Village Hall next week. I recon that’ll be like them hoss racing film night we used t’hev a few year ago. I’ll tell yu suffin, pigs can run fast enough when yu are trying t’catch them, there int a lot on a pig t’grap hold of when you do git near enough , at least sheep hev got a bit o’wool or a pair of horns t’git hold of.
They tell me that the village Heritage Group are holding a Harvest Tea in the Village Hall on Friday 23rd September from 2 – 4pm So come along und hev a mardle (chat) along with them und hev a look at what is on display The Missus und I might draw down und hev a look so we might see yu there.
Some on yu may hev seen that the hoss plough hev gone orf the plinth outside the village hall, thas been tricolated up und so that’l look good for a few more years.
Them old nights are starting t’draw in so I hed better finish und draw outside t’git a few jobs finished afore thas to dark t’see what I am a’doin.
Fare ye well t’gether und du yu keep a’troshin.
