Our thanks to Gerald McGivern for kindly giving us permission to share this fantastic video that he has put together.
It is from the recent vintage corn cutting at Ballymartin on the edge of the Mourne Mountains. The corn was being cut for the Mourne Vintage Club day which is being held at Annalong at the sawmill on Saturday, September 9. Farming Life hopes, weather permitting, to be along on the day to capture our own video and photographs.
And as you will see from the video itself, it was a fantastic setting for Gerald's video.
The photographs which accompany this video are by James McDowell.
