Think it follwos the old railway track. In March he follwed us around the roads in his car and then when we were outside Serre no1 he took photos of us!!

Strange you should say that we picked up a signed photo of her recently and are going to present it to him in March( hopefully!) hope this will give us a free pass!

AM87 Posted 20 August , 2019 Share Posted 20 August , 2019 I met said Farmer 2 days ago. My wife and i were in sheffield park when he approached us in his tractor. He asked us if we know Judy Dench or Bob Hoskins! This culminated in us being invited into his house to view his collection of battlefield relics including an unexploded mills bomb, a lewis gun magazine, several rifles complete with bayonets and a collection of shell cases. We were then invited into his front room where he showed us a trailer of the film in question via the worlds slowest internet (it actually made a dialling noise)! All in a ll very friendly just a little eccentric! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly a little late for poor old Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ricard 51 Posted 20 August , 2019 Share Posted 20 August , 2019 Bonsoir AM87....Delighted to learn that you had a truly positive encounter with this gentleman. I have never had any problems with him either when on duty or hunting.If everyone can understand his difficulties, respect his terrain and remain civil as do the huge majority of visitors to our sector, tben there should be no concerns. I trust that the few,more obsessive ,"enthusiasts" that visit( and most of us have met them at some stage!!) will refrain from rocking up at said premises at all hours expecting to view the relic collection.That kind of conduct can surely only lead to further events.

I'm out there next week and as I'm from Sheffield, had already planned to take a small token to break down barriers and make it friendly. Poor fella, have issues around mental health myself and can sympathise with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
