But people have been very kind. Here's a picture from \u003Cb>Sam Reeve\u003C/b> (who's nearly eight), which arrived this morning. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/sam_tractor-c509867d5f.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nHis dad wrote: \u003Ci>I told Sam how hard you were working, and he thinks what you need is a picture of a tractor, so he drew you one: it's Steve Arrowsmith Brown's, splitting logs.\u003C/i>\\r\n\\r\nAnd it's true, a tractor was just what I needed!
