Wow! A working scale model tractor (Age 14+) and a LEGO Technics Wheeled Harvester kit (Age 7+) with realistic movements and mechanisms - kindly donated by John Deere comany's Langar base - plus sun caps for those summer days to come!. Over £100 to buy!

"This meticulously detailed scale model captures the power and precision of the real John Deere 6R 250 tractor, making it perfect for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate fine craftsmanship. Despite coming in a slightly damaged box, the model itself remains in pristine condition, offering exceptional realism and functionality. From the operable bonnet that reveals a detailed engine to the moveable upper and lower links, this authentic replica provides an engaging experience. The cab features opening doors and rear window, while the steering wheel controls the swing axle just like the real tractor. With precisely imprinted markings, warning signs, and realistic knobbly-profile tyres, this model delivers outstanding attention to detail that brings agricultural history to life."

Thanks to Long Clawson Dairy for their kind donation of a basket of their fabulous cheeses. A farmer-owned co-operative with a great local history and national reputation https://www.clawsonfarms.co.uk/about-us/

We’re proud to produce award-winning, artisanal British cheeses. With more than 100 years of craftsmanship and passion at our fingertips, we know that making exceptional cheese requires three key ingredients – tradition, time and taste.

Located within 30 miles of Clawson Farms’ dairy, and spanning acres of lush, green, undulating pastures, our 30 member farms are where the magic of cheesemaking begins.

We rely on the traditions of our member farmers, whose commitment to quality guarantees only the very best milk, produced in a way that’s mindful of the environment and animal welfare, reaches our cheesemakers.

We’re delighted to have brought home many international awards. In 2024, our PDO Blue Stilton® was awarded Supreme Champion at the International Cheese and Dairy Awards. In 2022, our Shropshire Blue also achieved this highly coveted prize. In 2024, our Aged Rutland Red® was awarded Best Territorial Cheese at the British Cheese Awards & Gold at the 2024 Global Cheese Awards.
