Current Weather at Strickley

Grass, grass, grass and more grass

With the first cut silage safely in the pit, you may think that's it for 6 weeks. But no. The pastures we were keeping for the cows have been growing at such a rate it's "got away from them". So the mower was barely parked up before it was out again. This time it will be big baled. We've booked a slot with the contractor and the weather looks good. So, barring breakdowns and Acts of God there will be a stack of black plastic parcels by Wednesday night.

A busy day ahead all round - more muck to be spread (I don't think I'll hang any washing out today), grass to be scaled, four cows to be sent off on their Final Journey, VAT return to complete, stacks of filing to sort and maybe 5 minutes sitting out in the sun (it is supposed to be my day off work).
