I wonder if you’ve ever heard of the Society of Ploughmen? – nor had I. It was founded in 1972 to organise the British National Ploughing Championships which attract over 250 competitors each year; it now also aims to encourage the art, skill and science of ploughing land, and runs training sessions to those who want to learn more. The Society actively encourages “New blood” – there is a Young Farmers Championship as well as the main one – and it’s pleased to say that the number of female members is on the rise; I think that, at some point, the Society will have to change its name!

June 21, 2022

I knew my father for twenty years, until he died: he was aconstant presence throughout my childhood. He wasn’t into sport so we never attended football or cricket matches; however we did go to classical concerts and, when I was older, to the opera. He wasn’t very practical with his hands, either, but we tried – rather unsuccessfully – to build model aeroplanes and then – even less successfully – to fly them in the park across the road. Because he was a doctor, he seemed to take personal offence if either me or my sister was ill – until I was sent home from school with a raging bout of ‘flu that kept me in bed for several weeks. My father was generous, sometimes to my mother’s despair; he took a keen interest in everything I did although he never really understood how children ‘ticked’; we had the inevitable rows during my teenage years. In many ways he was an old-fashioned man, more nineteenth-century than twentieth; my biggest regret is that he died too soon for me to develop a proper adult relationship with him.
