Farm machinery, Northamptonshire
The farm machinery being towed by the tractor is apparently called a disc harrow. It is used to break down the lumps of soil in a ploughed field and prepare the ground for sowing. Northamptonshire is a rural county with rich farmland and just half a dozen main towns of which the largest is Northampton itself. It is the southernmost county of the East Midlands and is some 70 miles north of London. Bordered by eight other counties, it was once known as the County of Spires and Squires (on account of the numerous large country estates) but is now probably better known as the location of Bridget Jones's family home.
