working the land

My guess on the year in this photo is late 50’s. In the pic is Dad, then Peter (redhead), Alan (snowball), and I have just noticed the dog, possibly Toby, but maybe Tippy?  I rely on my brothers to fill in some information.

It’s definitely winter, as the vines are pruned and rolled on.

Also unsure as to what is happening here – preparing to spread fertiliser, perhaps?

Photo is looking southward to the house, with the channel behind us.  To the right across the road is the Thompson (Arthur, Gladys, Patricia and Desmond) Block.
