Yesterday's farming

It's been some time since the last update so here's the first of the catch up posts: Back on 20 August my mum, Christelle, came to stay with us, we whisked her off straight from the train to a show on Gilcombe Farm in Bruton called Yesterday's Farming.

It was an interesting show, unfortunately the weather was against us but did let off as we were unloading the car and getting ready.  It specialises in past farming equipment, traditions and breeds.

It had possibly the largest collection of tractors that I will probably ever see.  Oscar was overwhelmed and didn't want to leave the tractors.
The very small steam engines were fantastic.
Oscar was very happy to see the tractors in action
Attempts to get everyone in shot failed, as is the norm with my mum
There were plenty of other attractions at the show, we watched a very interesting heavy horse demonstration and there were a large number of stationary engines.  Hopefully we'll be back again next year!
