Hay making instead of the grouse moors.
Jack is usually on the grouse moors by now with the dogs but it is all hands on deck on the farm. With the bad weather we had in June means Haytime and Harvest are rolled into one. The barley has been cut and stored and we are waiting for the wheat getting ready. The grass is very heavy this year with the warm weather and rain there will be no shortage. Shame the barrel in the
garden wasn't full of beer as it may have gone down well as turning hay can be a dusty job.
