It\u2019s some years since I last wrote for the\nBlog, but it\u2019s nice to see it reappear again after a long absence, with my old\nfriend Mrs Badger taking up her pen to welcome the cuckoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking of Mrs B, I have always felt a yearning for a closer\nrelationship with her, and springtime brings this out in me, despite the fact\nthat we are all locked away because of this virus thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I confessed my longings to my young nephew, who is much more\nexperienced in this kind of thing than me, a solitary country widower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He gave me some good advice and so the other night when\nthere was a full moon I went into my barn, turned my ipod on and began to\ngyrate and dance in front of my 1985 Massey Ferguson muck-shifting tractor,\nwhich I had just had serviced. I was swerving and bumping just like those\nstrippers you see in the movies, following his advice to the letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suddenly the barn door flew open and there was Mike from the\nneighbourhood watch. He asked me what I was doing and I explained about my\nproblem and consulting my nephew..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I explained: \u201cHe said the best thing was to do something\nsexy to a tractor\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I thought is was very rude of him to burst out laughing and head off,  slapping his sides. No doubt it will be all round the village, so I thought, Mr Editor, that I would get my version in first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Baffled?
