Course, doesn't look like he's doing much work here, either - see how loose the chains seem to be?

This is a diminutive steam engine, running very quietly - note the coal shuttle where a seat would be if this was the tractor it resembles.	johnsphotos_002.jpg 81.07 Kb 8.89 x 5.94 inches Being a professional showsheep is Such hard work!

We'd stopped so I could have my required strawberries-and-Belgian-chocolate. John, of course, had a coffee.	Huge crowds on Wednesday. Last year, over 127,000 people attended the Great Yorkshire Show.
