I genuinely think of Lamborghini as a tractor manufacturer that drifted into cars. Was going to put a Ferrari tractor up, but they're all just too boring. Anyway. This is us: (Ignore the stupid title.)

At least you two get some rain, we've had next to nothing since early March. "Tales from the Green Valley" is a British historical documentary TV series in 12 parts, first shown on BBC Two from 19 August to 4 November 2005. The series, the first in the historic farm series, made for the BBC by independent production company Lion TV, follows historians and archaeologists as they recreate farm life from the age of the Stuarts; they wear the clothes, eat the food and use the tools, skills and technology of the 1620s. The series recreates everyday life on a small farm in Gray Hill, Monmouthshire, Wales in the period, using authentic replica equipment and clothing, original recipes and reconstructed building techniques. Much use is made of period sources such as agricultural writers Gervase Markham and Thomas Tusser. Gray Hill is a hill immediately to the north of the village of Llanvair Discoed, Monmouthshire, south east Wales. Its summit is at 273 metres (896 ft).
