Current Weather at Strickley

Here comes the sun . . .

At last the damp miserable curtain has lifted and the sun has come out. After some heavy showers yesterday morning the clouds rolled away and the sky turned blue. A couple of  hours later it was still fine and the forecast for the next 24 - 48 hours was looking good. So there was only one thing to do - get mowing! The silage sheet has been rolled back and the pit is ready. After breakfast Henry will be rowing up and the contractor will be coming later to pick up the grass.

It's just over six weeks since first cut and the grass is looking good. So I should be happy and maybe giving a link to "Here comes the sun" or similar. But instead I give you this. Click and enjoy. My plans for today didn't include watching trailers of grass whizz through the yard, but sitting in front row seats watching the mighty Bellowhead. Ah well, farming's not meant to be easy.

And in case you missed the link - here it is again.
