However on Christmas Day, with snow on the ground, she made an outing to the village pub complete with tinsel !
As it turned out this was most appropriate, as waiting down the pub was a Christmas present. It turned out to be a special tractor calender. It's special because it features a different picture of Tillie every month. Some of my so called 'friends' and wife kidnapped Tillie and took a topical photo of her for every month. It's a really nice and touching present. I will post the photos later.
At the end of February, I received an interesting e-mail from Dwayne, (Hi Dwayne). Dwayne lives in California and has restored a 1953 TEA20 about the same time as I did Tillie - the power of the Internet and proof that someone must at least see my blog !
I've posted (above) one of the pictures Dwayne sent. Its a super looking restoration and originally belonged to Dwayne's grandfather. It mush be a real head turner cruising down the highway !
