Green green grass - ready and waiting (and wilting)

At last the mower has moved out into the field. We had hoped - and expected - to have started silaging a few days ago, but for some reason we were moved down the contractor's running order. So now it's a race to get as much in the pit before the weather changes. It's a stressful time for farmers - poised and ready to go, but waiting for the weather. And then knowing when to start mowing - and how much to mow - so the grass is just nicely wilted when the contractor's forage harvester arrives in the yard.

But despite the stress, or maybe because of it, James has not given up Tweeting. Do you follow him? His tweets are one of the reasons I don't write as much on the Blog. By the time my fingers hit the keyboard, it's old news. So log on to Twitter and search for James Robinson (@JRfromStrickley). Or if Twitter is new to you - click on this link

Because James is so handy with his camera phone, I haven't been out in the fields. Here's a few photos from his Tweets - for the accompanying text you'll need to look on Twitter.
