You've got some big skies out there eh, Jon.
As an aside, I noticed the combines on those YouTubes are called "New Holland" - which ironically (or not) well describes the lands reclaimed by early Dutch settlers, which came to comprise a good deal of East Anglia's flat farming country.
Apparently American harvest favourite 'Pumpkin Pie', was an old Norfolk recipe known as "Million Pie", which would have originally been made from Marrow back in the old world. Seeing quite a few marrows sitting outside village doorsteps right now too, often next to little bags of plums and boxes of eggs, and honesty boxes.
