We’ve had a delightful day at the annual Southwell Ploughing Match, which these days is all but as large and varied as the County Show. The sun shone, hundreds of people strolled around the many fields full or rural attractions, and my wife’s grand-nephew, whose 2nd birthday it was, had the time of his life, both sitting at the controls of an excavator and then watching in the main ring ‘Dancing Diggers’ – five JCBs doing things JCBs don’t usually get to do. A glorious ‘last gasp of summer’ day out.
