Falling nuts.

The walnuts have now decided to drop from all of our trees, the above being just one picking today, quite a few kilograms and all a bit wet following a misty and damp morning so drastic action is needed to dry them out, so the area in front of the fireplace in the lounge is now an emergency drying area!
Good news is that this years crop is much better already than last year so no shortage of walnut cake in the coming months for our guests....and us ofcourse.

Vintage farm worker!

Spotted in the front drive of a farm on the walk we had a few weeks ago through Chaban, this pre 1953 Massey Harris tractor that looks in need of a bit of t.l.c.
Now I'm not claiming to be an expert on this kind of thing but did manage to find out that in 1953 Massey Harris merged with the Ferguson Company to form Massey Harris Ferguson, 5 years later in 1958 the company shortened its name to the now very familiar Massey Ferguson.
Considering the tractor is at least 60 years old it looks in pretty good condition really, but I couldn't find any markings on it to find its exact age unfortunately!
