I can't believe it is that time of year again so quickly. The weather has been set fair for a number of days and so yesterday it was time to cut the meadow. Luckily for us the conditions were ideal, warm and sunny but with a cooling breeze to help us in our work of raking. Sometimes it is good just to set to with a task that you know is going to take all day, you don't have to think too much but can enjoy the rhythm of the work whilst watching what goes on around you. Alyson was kept busy on toad watch, rescuing the little chaps before the mower blades did their worst, whereas Nicky was a bit jittery avoiding all the mice that fled, she doesn't like them much as she once lived in a cottage where they were rather numerous!. It was a day of good honest toil.
"Make hay while the sun shines" "Honour lies in honest toil"
Proverb Grover Cleveland
