ploughing how God intended.a far nicer way of doing things,hard work maybe but full of soul and in contact with nature,the smells the sound of the skylark and the thrush,things that are lost in an air con cabwith radio on.

Nice bit of nostalgia.
I prefer the comfort of air con and getting the job done without breaking my back doing it.Them was hard times and tough men & women who lived on the land. I have nowt but respect for them.

I once helped pack a plough half-way up a mountain in thick jungle on the back of a water-buffalo,I had a try at hand-ploughing,not as easy as it looks to be honest,but a darn sight more enjoyable than a massey ferguson

I remember my old man telling me that he used to walk 11mile a day behind a pair of horse when ploughing, and had to fight with the plough at the same time ,he used to tell me they got 1hr 45mins for lunch, i said "aye you would need it" ,he replied "it wisnae for us! it wis tae ge the horse a rest" tough days, but i think i would have preferred them , but i'm too soft now,i'm k------d after a good mooch about the glen on a saturday morning!.
