And the winner is....

Of course I'm teasing. Thank you everyone for all your hard work, I'm amazed at your results! Bill how did you get the hop garden in there? It all goes to remind me how little I know about what my humble pc is capable of. My Mum is going to be over the moon.

So that we can let you all invest your time and effort in someone else's project I think we can consider this particular photo now 'fixed'.

Thank you!

Richard

Sadly Richard most of the hop gardens here in Kent have gone,  :'( even the farmhouse featured in 'The darling buds of may' is up for sale... You can buy it for around £1000,000.  ::)

Don't I know it Bill I'm still in Tenterden Kent. My Mum often reminisces about her time in the hop fields as a young girl in the 50's. Cold dewy mornings, getting a good soaking when you pulled the first bines down in the early morning, making mud cakes, sitting on the side of the bin pulling the hops away from the bine, tally men and the hop puller on the stilts, life on the common in the hopper huts - I almost feel like I was there! But it was a little bit before my time. Sad really but great memories for those who were there.
