#WRITEPHOTO – Farming

Afternoon Everyone,

Welcome to the weekly #writephoto prompt!

Ploughing or harvesting

Driving all-day

No time for this tractor

To stop and play

Farming – Image by KL Caley

For visually challenged writers, the image shows a red tractor busy in the field.

The regulars already know this bit, but for those that don’t:

• Each Thursday at Noon GMT I will post the #writephoto prompt
• Use the image and prompt as inspiration to create a post on your own blog… poetry, prose, humour… light or dark, whatever you choose, as long as it is fairly family-friendly.
• Please have your entries linked back to the original prompt post by the following Tuesday at Noon GMT.
• Link back to this post with a pingback (Hugh has an excellent tutorial here)  and/or leave a link in the comments below, to be included in the round-up.
• Please click their links to visit the blogs of other contributors and take time to read and comment on their work.
• Use the #writephoto hashtag in your title so your posts can be found.
• There is no word limit and no style requirements, except that your post must take inspiration from the image and/or the prompt word given in the title of this post.
• Feel free to use #writephoto logo or include the prompt photo in your post if you wish, or you may replace it with one of your own to illustrate your work.

• By participating in the #writephoto challenge, please be aware that your post may be featured as a reblog on this blog and I will link to your post for the round-up each week.

If you need some more inspiration or fancy a bit of light reading, check out last weeks round-up.

I can’t wait to read your creations.

Take Care.

Let’s hear it for the GIRLS!

I feel the biggest pull towards writing historical fiction and the focal points of my novel are usually women from a historical period. I find it a thrill to give a voice to the real-life events that surround them and although written from a modern-day perspective, I tend to focus on the key emotions most women can relate to, love, hate, fairness, motherhood, romance, persecution etc.

As a family, we love to visit castles and museums. I love to find stories that really capture the strength of character. We recently visited the Yorkshire Museum of Farming (which is very interesting). In amongst the many stories of men (Ford, Massey, Harris, Ferguson, Deere, etc), there was this brilliantly intriguing story of Lady Evelyn ‘Eve’ Balfour who bought her own farm at the age of 21 and began studying the chemical compounds of farming and led the way in more natural-less chemical-based farming.
