Tonka Toys!








After the milling of the big pine the digger came in to do some heavy lifting work. One of his jobs was to roll the rather large pine logs down the hill so that Jono could mill them on the flat. This was a bit nerve racking to watch as at times as the logs were being rolled down the hill the digger looked as though it was going to tip over, however they all got safely down to the bottom of the hill. The other job the digger came to do was to help us make our rock wall at the edge of our lawn to keep the sheep out, the rock wall was being put in to upgrade a bit from having a boring old fence. First of all he had to dig out a space to put the rocks, and then carefully placed the huge rocks along the edge, each rock probably weighing on average half a tonne. Rob made this job look easy, picking up these heavy rocks as though they were as light as feathers. Very excited about the rock wall, and now comes the job of levelling out the lawn and growing some grass.
