It's potato harvest time, and the tractors are roaring through town with big trailers of potatoes on the back.
Yesterday, one of them didn't have the tail gate quite closed properly, and as it went down Broad Street, it tipped thousands of potatoes out onto the road! People came out from everywhere to collect the potatoes up - the tractor didn't stop. A lady from the Granary came out with a broom to sweep them to the sides of the road; people came with boxes and bags and all sorts of receptacles - and the only sign that anything has happened is the occasional squashed potato on the road.

How marvellous - sounds like a sort of Welsh borders version of 'Whisky Galore'
So Hay...love it!
I bet the new girl running the chippy was out there!
Actually, I think she missed all the excitement!
Makes me almost miss living there!
