title Thrandeston Pig Roast and Tractors, Thrandeston Little Green, Suffolk - 23rd June 2013 intro It's the annual pig-roasting thrash down on Thrandeston's Little Green. The weather's doing its traditional British Summer thing by being cold enough for coats and lashing rain periodically in short, but intense, bursts. The pig, bred in the farmhouse behind which it's being served, is excellent as usual, and for the second year there's a visit from a steam traction engine and Andrew's "tractor massive". Before that, the ongoing reconstruction of the Shell garage next to the office in London continues, as a pit for new petrol tanks is started. Then, it's Fred's nursery's sports day down at Palgrave playing fields. imgp2389 There's more paper prototyping going on at work imgp2396 There's a pile of concrete at the Shell garage imgp2397 A digger starts on new pits for petrol tanks imgp2400 Fred down at the Palgrave playing fields imgp2401 Harry has a swing imgp2402 Fred on the tyres after Peacock's sports day imgp2405 Harry and Fred play on tyres imgp2407 Harry on a paint-spattered skate ramp imgp2410 It's just not cricket imgp2413 Nice splatters of paint imgp2414 Fred legs it imgp2415 Max outside the Cock Inn on Fair Green imgp2416 Max and Rob have a beer outside the Cock Inn imgp2417 Crepuscular rays over Fair Green imgp2421 Traction engine Oliver trundles around the pond imgp2423 Oliver by the pond imgp2425 Grandad goes to meet the traction engine imgp2426 Grandad gets a close up imgp2430 Oliver the engine parks up by the pond imgp2439 Fred does Lego imgp2440 Isobel and Fred come back from the bogs imgp2443 Bill plays with the boys imgp2445 Bill despairs imgp2447 The first vintage tractor arrives imgp2449 A grey Ferguson trundles onto the green imgp2451 More tractors line up in the rain imgp2455 Multi-coloured tractors on the green imgp2459 A "Super Dexta" tractor imgp2462 A Ferguson 35 Special Edition imgp2464 Harry on a Massey-Ferguson 35X imgp2472 Fred has a go on the bright yellow tractor imgp2474 Claire scoops Harry up imgp2482 Carmen and Harry imgp2483 The Boy Phil and Paul glumly hold cans imgp2484 Rain lashes down during one of the showers imgp2485 Claire and Matthew hide from the rain imgp2487 Everyone crowds under the marquee imgp2496 A small dog perches on the wheels of the engine imgp2504 Andrew talks with the tractor boys imgp2508 Charlie Bird holds the line in the tug-of-war imgp2509 A tug-of-war kicks off imgp2515 Carmen carries Harry around imgp2518 Martina and Janice help with the rope imgp2520 Fred and Matthew pull on a rope imgp2532 More tug-of-war-ing imgp2540 The weather clears up a bit imgp2546 The ladies line up for a pull imgp2551 Intense pulling from the women's team imgp2566 A rope is hitched up to the engine Oliver imgp2568 Ready for a 12-ton engine pull imgp2574 The traction-engine driver imgp2577 Harry helps out with the children's event imgp2581 Isobel carries Harry around imgp2584 Back in the marquee
