Please can someone have a go at restoring this family photo please? Hopefully it's not as hard as the haystack one!

thanks japeflakes mcgroger and shaky120 you have all done super jobs! 

I will try to find out if it is called that Japeflakes and hopefully find out the actual colour also...red seems popular on the farm now but not sure about then though. The descendants still live there hopefully someone might remember!

Surprised it is not a "Little Grey Fergie" being Irish.  About what date is the photo?
