Well if you were wondering why we have been a bit quiet, it is because we have been making hay in the 3 and a half field. We got more hay then I had anticipated 410 small bales! This is the first time I have made hay for 30 years, so a little tired now. Ashley and Belinda did a brilliant job of turning, rowing and collecting the bales, when collecting and moving the bales you end up shifting them multiple times, so I moved about 600 bales between stacking, loading, and off loading. I must confess I was slowing down at the end, and Ashley and Belinda finished the last 100 at about midnight.
But all in all a mad rush, but weirdly exciting and satisfying once finished. Small bales are an old fashioned way of farming, but nothing beats it.
