NATIONWIDE COMPETITION CELEBRATES
BEST OF BRITISH FARM LIFE
» » FROM FUZZY HIGHLAND CATTLE TO
newborn lambs, and farmers cradling their
newest additions, to children playfully
chasing after livestock, Certas Energy
challenged people in the UK to submit their
best farm life photographs.
The competition received more than 130
entries from all over the country, depicting
modern agriculture and farm life for families
living in rural areas across the UK.
The winner was Lola Bellouere from
Manchester, who submitted a photograph
of her first born lambs at spring. The photo
was taken at Oddendale Farm in the Lake
District next door to her grandmother’s
house.
Runners up included everything from
nurturing sheepdogs looking after their
owner’s newest arrivals, to an array of
highland cows caught on camera and
farmers showing off their prized vintage
tractors, all of which can be found in the
online gallery on Certas Energy’s website.
Angus Blundell, Director of Marketing
at Certas Energy, said: “Certas Energy
provides fuel to customers in some of
the most rural areas in the UK, including
farms. We decided to run this competition
to highlight the importance of British
agriculture and showcase the beauty of
the British countryside in our new online
gallery.
‘more than 130 entries’
“We were very impressed with all the
entries we received and it was really
difficult to pick an overall winner, but we
feel that Lola really captured the essence of
what British farm life is all about.”
