Back From Libya

Phew! Its been a while, but Mrs Patroon, myself and Little Joe from Top Farm have just got back from Libya.
Little Joe suggested going after New Year but he had`nt finished thatching the barn, thus armed with pitchforks and a generous supply of Mrs Patroon`s ginger cake we set off for Benghazi.
It took a few weeks but we finally met up with the rebel forces who instantly took a liking to the dried Angel Delight Powder that was our main sustenance.
Mrs Patroon soon rallied this ragtag band of freedom fighters and showed them how to make jam and they soon had a Victoria sponge to be proud of.
Little Joe trained them in the art of corn dollies and i soon had them artificially inseminating the local bull.
Apparently Colonel Ghaddafi was kicking up some kind of stink but frankly we was`nt worried as he is only a Colonel, if i was in charge of a Country i would at least make myself a General.
His army must be so shit he cant even promote himself.
We landed at Brize Norton and got the bus back, Little Joe had some trouble getting on with the pitchforks but luckily the bus driver was old Ma Wilkins` boy Trevor, he`s a good un` Trev and let us on for free.
Quick cup of tea, then down to the lower field for ditch digging, bloody drainage again.!
All in all a good trip and we feel that we really made a difference.
