Harvesting the Old Fashioned Way

We decided that we would visit this event as we haven't been for 5 years or so. We use to take Victoria but they have moved the event and its just to far for us to go with Victoria.

There was lots to see, lots of tractors ploughing and using mechinery, horses ploughing, vintage and classic cars on display, a few commercial vehicles on display and dotted about a few stalls. Loved watching the horses working and we even took a ride on the tractor and trailer.

Well worth a visit to take in the sights and sounds, we hope that maybe we could take Victoria back one year and join them at this nice country event.
