About 30 years ago i had to deliver a horse, i was given the address and turned up here




The guy who met me (wearing shorts and a baggy shirt) was the live in gardener/handyman. He lived in the castle on his own and maintained it for the owners who visited for a maximum of 2 weeks a year which apparently was one long party.

I thought he had the best job in the world.

Now its for sale.

Must be one lonely gardener.


I had a similar job at a larger estate where i looked after up to a dozen horses and all the garden, woodlands and grounds.
http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-53012-caldress-manor-ickleton-cambridgeshire#.V5Hxi7grKUk


We lived in a luxury apartment at one end of the house and had the run of the place for about a month every year when the owners went away.


I worked 40 hrs a week and my wife worked 20.....we got free accommodation and the princely sum of £ 120.00 a week.......between us. After 2 years it went up to £ 135.00.

I wasnt allowed to ride the precious horses but i could use the open top V12 Jaguar SC any time i liked.....:peace:

Im guessing thats why he distinctly asked for a horse


It was a beautiful beast destined for Badminton horse trials.

The daughter of my employer competed at the Olympics on it. There was a purpose built dressage arena at the place where i worked. It really is a sight to see these magnificent creatures "dancing" around.


The Jag was like this one....# plate read JAG 50N
Its the most powerful car i have ever driven. They only made them with auto gearbox because the manual was considered too vicious for road use.

Once a week i had to drive right through the middle of Cambridge in the Jag towing a horsebox to collect sacks of cheap recycled wood chips for horse bedding from the Council depot.

Roof down.....sounds blasting, me with tattoos and a skinhead crop and a rollie hanging from the corner of my gob.......epic...:peace:.



On the weekends we had use of their V8 Range Rover, it was so much nicer than my Avenger with its' vinyl roof.

Oh I get to chime in, I was born in 81 so we had some real shit cars when I was a kid growing up :roll: my dad owned a lada riva not too dissimilar from this one, and yes it was cream!



We used to duck down in the mornings on the way to school and have him drop us off 100m from the gates :D

After that he got a ford Cortina estate, man things were so different back then, no one wore seatbelts let alone car seats, pretty sure they didn't exist, mum n dad would smoke in the car as they did in all rooms of the house back then :roll: if you had more than 3 kids a couple would sit in the boot and bounce around, we took many journeys like this!

He also bought himself a ford capri a few years later, I put that down to some sort of mid life crisis :roll:

my dad owned a lada riva
Fiat 128 series sold to lada ( Rebadged as Lada )for what they could get
not a bad Car but the OH cams in the engine had oil starvation problems used to knacker up so easy.

Dad had a Wartburg Knight Estate with the 1000cc 2 stroke Triple then ( built in Free wheels wierd )
we re engined it with a 1.3ltr Morris Marina Engine
Became quite a good and reliable car after it was 4 stroked
