Hi Steve,

Thanks for the visit, and the wise words. This insight could be about the way agriculture was done (and still is in parts of the world), or it could be about the attitude of "Sod this, the guys with the traction engines are doing it quicker, so why should we bother, let them do it for us", or it could be an insight into that typical British approach (often heard at British Leyland years ago) of "Tea break lads!!" And we wonder about the decline of British industry!!!! Yes Steve, wise words indeed.

Best Wishes Peter

What magnificent workhorses wearing their Sunday best! They are quite beautiful and of most impressive size and strength. If the people in charge weren't so lazy, some work might be getting done. I'm certain these horses could do JUST as good a job as the tractors, if not better.

What an interesting capture.

Greetings, Peter! I hope this evening finds you very well.

All the best from Georgia,

Mary Alice

Hi Mary Alice,

How you brighten up my evening! I think you have hit the nail on the head. I like the word 'lazy'. To me, I appreciate that you have looked at the picture properly, seen the guys with the traction engines still working away in the distance, and are able to make fair and proper comparison. I also thank you for observing no cider, bread, cheese , nor onions, just an empty Coca Cola bottle. Hence the nice Sunday picnic theory of Nick and Alan is disproved, also due to the fact that their mates havn't been invited to join in!

I'm so pleased you enjoyed the view of old England, you are right, they were two very big, and well turned out, horses.

Best Wishes Peter

Hola RMB,

Gracias por su visita. Me alegro de que te gusta la coutryside Inglés.

Estoy seguro de que la Argentina tiene algún campo muy bonito, sobre todo en las montañas.

Thank you for your visit. I am happy that you like the English coutryside.

I am sure that Argentina has some pretty countryside too, especially up in the mountains.

Best Wishes Peter

Hi Tone,

Now that is an interesting observation!! How can the poor horses be expected to work when their keepers are sitting round eating juicy carrots all day?

Best Wishes Peter
