At last it has been more or less fine for a couple of days and we have got (most of) the Triticale. We've been weather watching all week, waiting for the contractor to get to us, and for the weather to hold out. We just made it, as by we were on the last field it was raining again. If you've been driving along the B6254 you'll have seen which three fields we sowed. None of them are exactly flat, all having challenging slopes. The undersown grass also made the going a bit tricky. The big machine has been and gone, and most of the crop is in the big pit on top of first cut grass. A small part of Wellbank that comes down to the yard is still waiting for (a) drier weather and (b) someone with the nerve to mow and maybe bale.
I was there with my camera and camcorder, but it wouldn't be fair to post the video, as it was mostly of when the combine got a bit stuck. But here are a few stills that show it in action.

And a few when it was parked up in the yard
