I was driving the new Renault Megane car in Wicklow recently at its launch on the Irish market and searched around the Rathdrum region for a good farming location against which to photograph it. The photograph of the car attracted some attention but not as much as the impressive Ford 7000 tractor that provided the backdrop.I was not unduly surprised about the interest in the tractor, which is in excellent condition. This 1975 tractor is owned by Mick and Maura Heffernan, who run a small cattle and horse farm, as well as a busy guesthouse, Coolalingo B&B, beside the picturesque Glenmalure Lodge deep in the heart of the Garden of Ireland.
