“The soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all. It is the healer and restorer and resurrector, by which disease passes into health, age into youth, death into life. Without proper care for it we can have no community, because without proper care for it we can have no life.”
― Wendell Berry

Banff and Buchan is farming country. Coming from Glasgow, I had little knowledge of the trials and tribulations of working the land - the weather, the weather and the weather! Diseases in pigs, poor prices for milk, long hours - now I have farmer friends and am privy to all the problems. Did I mention, the weather?

Anyway it was lovely this evening to see this tractor out baling!
