Please tell me I'm not the only one who dreads harvest. This year we didn't have any break crops to cut, so it was painful to hear everyone else cutting rape and barley around us. It sounds stupid to recall.
Our system is simple enough, with modern well maintained machinery. Yet every year I'm nearly physically sick in the build up to the first day. In fact, I've just set the old chap off in a lovely field of wheat which he's sailing through. And I was close to diving for the hedge bottom. I do think it's a throw back to the old days of shovelling bins, constant repairs, carting straw, no air con, and stopping to milk cows.
I know the biggest worry is when my dad is no longer around. He lives for it. I just wish I did
