Ploughing for Dummies

[Tim Cullis]

I love travelling in rural areas, watching people working in the fields or looking after flocks of goats and sheep. I've often wondered what it would be like to try some of these activities--we Europeans are tremendously unskilled when it comes to basic life tasks such as growing your own food.

So I had a go at ploughing. It may look easy but it's pretty difficult to keep the ploughshare in the ground, let alone straight with the previous furrows. As you can see if the photo I'm about to veer off to one side, so don't enter me for any ploughing competitions just yet!
