cut and fold the fertile muck

January 2nd

Still feeling quite rough today, but drove to Waitrose to buy some essentials for fighting colds (cake, pies, coke zero). On the drive back, coming in the opposite direction, I saw a really old fashioned tractor, a working one, but with no cabin and the farmer was sitting high in it, chugging along. It was like a momentary time slip, a throwback to more pastoral times.

 

Old flat capped farmer,

Vintage tractor chugs slowly,

Stacked up with hay bales.
