Summer is in full swing at Hiltonbury Farm in a Trailer for July and August 1952.

There is haymaking and harvest, family arriving from Canada, Pony Club, Southampton Carnival, cricket, football and summer outings. Mother and the family also take to Southampton Water to see the magnificent United States and Queen Elizabeth.But the weather is never far from everyone’s thoughts as the crops are cut, combined and carted — until at last comes the welcome news that the harvest is finished.Another wonderfully busy chapter of family and farming life from My Mother’s Diaries.
