May 22 Snapshot Competition

The plough being used here is a genuine, fully working, 1914 plough. This was taken in 2014, at The Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall. They were preparing for the centenary of the start of WW1, by ploughing the field in the way it would have been done back then, and then sowing the field full of poppies which were intended to be in full bloom in time for the centenary.

OH is always working on it Bath, he bought it from Hippies/Flower people in 1972, it was a skeleton, pink and naked Ladies all over it, OH restored it back to how it should be, it took him 3 years.

Always wanted to go there @Minx - been to France loads of times, and during one stay we came fairly close to Carcassonne, but we were on our long drive back to catch the ferry and didn’t have time to make the detour.
