I saw this sign earlier today outside a coffee shop on the Cowley Road in Oxford.

Used to be similar on my uncles farm. Horse drawn plough, both ploughs are now outside my aunts house, as opposed to in the ditch.My parents came from a farming background and in the village where I grew up my dad was often hired to cut grass with his scythe and a hook. During the cutting season I would often see him on his way home of an evening with the scythe over his shoulder. The scythe can, indeed, be very efficient when wielded by a person of experience, as he was.
I worked on the farms during the summer holidays from Primary School and we had to do everything with the use of hands and hand tools - the plough was a 1 HP affair(a lovely horse!)
Horse drawn mower used on the neighbouring farm. Finger bar mower used for cutting the oats and hay. Horse drawn sprayer which we were allowed on as we were the lightest, half hour on that pump left you wet and sore.

Owdo'Morning all
Miserable day out - cold and wet, although the rain has called what looks like a temporary halt. Off to the day centre with Mrs B soon.
Wet here, still. No end in sight yet, temporary or otherwise.
Morning??

Still is for the time being.
You can build up your appetite on the way down.

We used to get regular dust storms in Cyprus. It was often sand from Syria and could last a few days
