Our MYC photographer came across this Hill Farmer doing it the way his father had before him - and with the same scythe!


The scythe was old when this writer learnt to use it sixty years ago.


Depending on whether William Evans of Fronwen bought it or inherited it, this scythe could be well over a hundred years old. It is likely to be a hundred years old, in any case.


This Hill farmer has likely known how to operate this particular scythe for more than eighty years.


A more detailed look at the handle.


Puncture kit, anybody?
