Our community farm feeds about 90 people, so is way bigger than allotment style production but small Scale compared to commercial growing . Pat and Torbin are putting spuds in here - pat is on the back dropping them in by hand via a hopper style contraption.. in the past he would have used his working horses to do all the heavy field work , the sheer volume of time, work and fitness required to keep that going means the tractor gets used far more these days .
Spontaneous dinner invite from Oonagh found us feeling like it was Fri night not Monday , sharing a meal and meeting the very lovely Lenny and Michelle , bird experts and documentary film makers. I Know far more about Curlews, Goshawks, Merlins , starlings , wrens and rooks than before - just need a quiz night with a bird category now !
