Isn't it great when you've got your hay in, all stacked and safe, and your winter feed assured? We've had the best haymaking weather we've ever had since we started making hay here 19 years ago. No rush, wall to wall sunshine, light breeze, hardly any dew. We got more bales off our little meadow than in any previous year. About a month ago there was also a suitable opportunity to make the hay, but there wasn't enough bulk to it, so we took the risk and waited. In most years here you have one weather window per year, so it was a risk to wait but it's paid off well. A lovely friend even came to help us cart and stack it and has gone away with bags of eateable goodies. Now it's all stored away, sweet smelling and well made, and our sheep will eat well this winter.
I hope everyone else has had the same great haymaking year.
