Awesome re-creation!
Re: Tattie Holidays
Ahh I remember doing a bit of spud bashing to raise funds for when the fair came to our village
Re: Tattie Holidays
Yes that's right - tatties is potatoes
If the picking time was delayed until after the holiday and we were back at school the farmer used to come and the whole class
would get to miss classes to go and pick potatoes - it was great fun but hard work
Remember we got paid so it gave us some money to spend.
The farmers wife had to feed the whole class for the day and that was fantastic
Great times

Different times.
Some people could call this child labour nowadays.

Child Labour - you are right
Or now it would be work experience but with health and safety rules they would not get to do this I expect
The farmer came to the school with a tractor and cart - we had to sit on bales in the cart to go to the farm
No that would not happen today
