Farming in the winter

As a photographer, that when it comes to farming I shoot mainly agriculture, although you will see me this time of year venturing out occasionally to dairy farms, there is not a lot to shoot.
For Agriculture The weather, is either too wet or to cold or too windy




So when I needed to get out and get some fresh air, my contacts all told me they were out hedge cutting. As my stock library was short of hedge cutting pix off I went. These image are shot in two different locations.


They highlight some of the problems on working on public roads doing a very necessary job


Any of these images can be purchased from my stock Library To view the link to these picture click here


Meatballs

Title sounds weird, I agree.

This was inspired by The Archers, and Tom's idea of producing cooked chill food.

Anyway this is my first go and I decided to use premium sausages from a well known supermarket's meat counter.
This was my first mistake. The basic idea was great, putting grated apple, with onion and bread crumb.

The sauce was great. Roasted a pepper and a tomato, with some garlic cloves, then whizzed the whole lot together in my mini chopper.

The problem was for my taste the meat balls were too sticky as it was sausage meat over seasoned.
I will do this again but next time with minced pork. I off to buy a hand meat mincer.

Mind you I think they look ok in the pix.
