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.
I was brought up at Onesacre and as a child I can remember going down to the old school house where Mr & Mrs Jones lived. They used to have boarding kennals and they kept a goat in the croft at the end of the lane. We used to feed the goat on our way to school and then do some fishing on our way back home in Mellors Field - we used to tickle them, me and my best mate.
