Have you ever felt you where on a treadmill and trying to get off but people won't let you?
I seem to have been haymaking for ever and was looking forward to the last being baled last weekend. As I was tedding my last field someone turned up and asked if I would like her 7 acres of standing grass that she was unable to let as grasskeep, free of charge. As we cannot forsee the future and not knowing what sort of winter we may be in for, how could I refuse!!!
I now have a barn that will be bursting at the seams with hay and no room for straw. What a lovely predicament to be in, I hope everyone in Dexterland has what supplies they need or have it covered. Whatever I cannot fit in the barn is already sold off the field and as you can probably tell, 'I'm rather chuffed', I'll just be tired for an extra week whilst doing it. My wife will be glad when I've finished so we can have dinner at a more sensible time. Must go as I need to turn this hay or I'll never be finished. :D

It certainly has been a lovely spell of weather, it is the first time since coming here to Wales that we have had the luxury of not having to watch the sky, bale before it is absolutely 'right' or pick what was earmarked as small bale up as large bales to beat the rain. The small bales are in the barn, the big bales of haylage are smelling sweetly of honey, wonderful!
