For the past several days Webbs of Manor Farm in the village have commenced harvesting potatoes down the shore, the field that has been started is located on the left of the Lighthouse lane leading to Hale shore.

After the last few days of heavy rain, the land has become very muddy in places and the harvesting was stopped. Before the rain arrived a small stock-pile of potatoes were harvested and tipped on the floor in one of the farm sheds to dry out. Once dried out, the farm workers were able to grade them, and bag them up for the local potato merchant.

During today (Thursday 12th October) the weather was fine and sunny which made for a good days harvesting,, work commenced at 8am and ended at 7pm/19.00hrs.
