Harvest Time

Combine harvesters are trundling through the streets of Hay, on their way from one farm to another, and lorries and tractor trailers with bales of hay. Yesterday, I bought a jar of pear and ginger jam from the chap who sells baskets, leather pouches and rugs in the Cheesemarket on Saturdays. He had a variety of home made chutneys and jams, and said that they'd just harvested the pears from their own tree.
