Where does time go, autumn is almost on us and with it comes some of the time honoured traditions that have been celebrated over the years here in the village.😉
Cornwall still has a very large farming community and at this time of the year after all the crops have been harvested and brought in for the winter, we celebrate with Harvest Festival.👨🌾🚜🍻
This annual event is held in the church hall where farmers and friends bring in their produce to display, while others will lead in cows, sheep, horses, pigs, chickens, you name it they come into the hall provided they are well behaved and drink responsibly.
Come on what’s strange about animals walking into a church hall, Noah took some animals out on a boat trip.🚢🐄🐏🐐🐑🐓🐖🐮🐰🐂🐔
Leading up to these events the Vicar always asks Hoof and Horace to help out and this year they have been tasked with traveling out around the parish to the more isolated farms delivering posters to the farmers informing them of the date and time of this years event.⏰
I must tell you this, H & H find it very difficult to keep a straight face when talking to the vicar, as bless him he has a, how shall we put this, a very loose fitting toupee that wobbles around a bit as he speaks.😇
H & H love going into these old massive farm houses, sitting around the fire in the kitchen, with a large glass of something medicinal in hand, listening to tales from the farmer discussing how the harvest has gone during the year.🐎🐷 🏡🔥🍷🍷🍷
Horace asked one farmer what crops he grew to which the response was potatoes, interesting said H, the farmer said he needed to somehow speed up the process of getting them into the shops, H suggested that if he drove a large steam roller over the potatoes he would have instant mashed potato, cutting out the middle man.🚜😁
While the boys where out exchanging stories with many of the farmers, work still needed to be carried out at the church hall. The vicar felt the hall could do with a clean prior to the harvest festival. So he got Mrs Trebogus who has been the regular cleaner of the hall for the last 107 years (she is contracted until 2030) to give it a once over with a duster and vacuum cleaner.👵
So she switched on the old hover and was going over the large floor, when dear of her the old eyesight isn’t what it used to be and had not noticed that the vicars toupee had fallen off and she stood on it, slipped and went flying into the air.👵🙈
Now bless her she came down butt first and landed on the suction pipe of the hover ouch, which brought tears to her eyes as you can imagine.😭😢
H & H had just arrived back at the hall during this commotion and immediately contacted paramedics who could do nothing on scene so off to hospital Mrs Trebogus went.🚑
Horace being a very caring type of pig rang the hospital later that evening, got through to the main switchboard where he was put through to the ward, can we help, yes he said I would like to ask about the condition of Mrs Trebogus, the nurse said there is no need to worry, “she is picking up well and will make a full recovery”.👩⚕️🐷😁
Thank you so much for stopping by and looking at my photographs. Your comments are very much appreciated.
Have a great weekend🍻🍻🍻🍷🍷🍷🐎🐷😎😂😂😂
