A few pics of my local pub over here in the UK.I’ve not got many really,but it’s a lovely place for sure.Over the years,I’ve hosted various parties and functions here from my 18th birthday,my children’s christenings and various other drunken reasons.I also organised a meeting of around 40 of the most notorious characters in the earthmoving and mining industry for 5/6 years in a row until the Covid thing stopped it all.That pub has had more muck moved and black smoke billowing out of its windows than a rough 657 with a broken manifold!
Many years ago,we nearly lost the front porch of the pub when a lowloader carrying on my D8’s somehow got into a pickle one night with it.
The chap in the pic is of Adrian Morris.He’s well known in all 4 corners of the world for owning the most spectacular team of D8K and towed scrapers you’ll ever see.He was also behind the rebuild of that lovely D9H that’s all over social media.The little kid that’s asleep is one of my sons a few years ago after a busy day riding shotgun in a Cat 983 across the road in a field.He’s still keen on all things big and yellow.
The final pic is a new sign for the pub that a couple of my chaps made in the shop.Obviously I had to go and take a look at it on Friday night and enjoy a few pints to christen it
Amongst some of the HEF board members that have wobbled out of the door are TC Tractors and Nige himself.Even better than the Queen of England
