A toy tractor and plough in Church, dad's real tractor outside. Things to remind us of the work that goes into producing our food and to remember the value of local produce. This evening we will be celebrating plough sunday. It will be all rather ralaxed and fun, Hymns: We Plough the fields and scatter / All things bright (omitting a few verses) and For the beauty of the earth. Readings to match the theme - Genesis probably - and prayers for those who work ont he land or at sea, and for shop-keepers, supermarkets, and those who work in transport.
Plough Sunday is a nice lift to what can otherwise be a dreary start to February.
