[QUOTE="Christoph1945, post: 7543677, member: 42426"] It was interesting to watch a local ploughman turning the earth ready for the next crops; with all those knobs, levers, and switches he handled the big machine so deftly it was almost like watching a large mechanical ballerina and as it passed me, lifting the plough blades, changing direction, and lowering them again, it was shear poetry in motion. I even got the opportunity for a quick, socially distance, chat and Bill (the ploughman) explained his theory for why there are no longer lapwings in the area and why hedgehogs are also in decline. I'm tempted to think that with farming being such an isolated profession you folks haven't felt the impact of lockdown as much as some townies and flat dwellers but am certainly ready to learn how the pandemic has affected the rural communities. Both Margaret and I have laptops and Margaret frequently sits in on a Skype meeting with friends but the internet connection in our accommodation was very hit and miss but Margaret did manage one Skype meeting.
