A Little Further From My Home

A Memory of Oughtibridge.

On the horizon stood Jo Woods farm. This is the place where I learnt about farming life. He had two Shire horses which were used for work on the land and hauling goods, hens for eggs and the oven and turkeys for Christmas. I would lead the shires for ploughing, turning potatoes ,
hauling goods and produce. The hens, of course, were free range and I had the job of finding the nests to collect the eggs. Come Christmas and my job was cleaning and plucking turkeys.
