Picture of mellow harvest fruitfulness shows off Shropshire's beauty

It's a picture that makes you want to say "ahh, that's our beautiful Shropshire".

The harvest is a time of hard work for the county's farmers but sometimes they are best placed to see the county at its most atmospheric - and it was in Wem last week, as this picture shows

It was posted on the Twitter account of Soulton Hall, the historic manor and castle, with a caption that said it all: "Harvest 22".

Only recently the rogue climate bared its teeth on the same farm when farmer Tim Ashton had to create an emergency firebreak to stop a combine harvester blaze from destroying his whole crop and threatening his family home.

But calm has returned to Soulton Hall, at least for the time being.
