Toys for boys

The local farmers have abandoned the scythe for newfangled machinery. And each year in the village the old and treasured are put on display.

It's a nice slice of country life on a perfect Spring day. Our lane is bursting with greenery...

...and the neighbour's gardens are in full bloom.

Two of them fly the Aeschlen ob Gunten flag with pride - a hand sickel as a reminder of pre-industrial days.

And the perfect end to a perfect day - red wine with a red sky.
