Life in Bealiba.
Time is moving along, it will soon be March 2025. I am really looking forward to my visit, and meeting you both. A trip of a lifetime.
Just on a totally random note......
I was looking at some people working on laying track at a railway preservation site in England. All the ballast was down and they were laying sleepers on it.
They were all wearing big orange Hi Vis vests.
There was no risk of being hit by a train, there is no rail down. In the middle of a field, nowhere near a road. No crane or tractor or anything.
Why is there this strange obsession with orange clothing? You see it here too. Even in a supermarket I saw a bloke pulling a trolley loaded with vegetables in the produce department. Wearing a Hi Vis Vest.

Sadies Lofts home of decent birds just a useless loft manager, and now a confirmed loser but proud



Yea I know the reasoning behind it. And I am big on health and safety, but half a dozen blokes standing in a field, with absolutely no imminent danger at all, or a bloke in charge of boxes of celery and green beans, why are they wearing Hi Vis clothing, indicating that there is a potential risk to safety.
I've been around a long time, and I have never seen a bunch of celery create a health and safety issue.
Cross my heart.
