The Village Field - Day 5 - 8 Hammered!

[CRUSADER]

Turned up to the field to check if the peas were still at a stage to detect on. The farmer said we could walk & dig on them whilst they were small & bendy but when they get big enough to snap then keep off. I went & did the bend test, & gave Cru'dad the OK to text him we were on the land. Monday will definitely be our last day until after harvest.
We have now doubled our best 1 month hammered Record, from 22 to 44! Crazy really....

Congrats once again of the field's take.
You're getting to be real silver hogs, and that's a compliment.
Sweet groat that is, and liking the 1697 Chester Sixpence.
The Beast Head leather mount is really a cool piece.

Start big gridding on the right fields & one day it will happen. Although this field is kind of a 1 off.

Cheers, this is spoiling us & we joke about how we will cope in the future when we struggle for 4 hours to get 1 hammered.

I can kind of relate from digging in your soils, then returning to dig in mine-just not the same.
One gets a tad spoiled easily.

Himself is a sensitive guy.
I think I might need a few tissues as well...
