| Ednovean Farm on an August summer evening |
It has been a changeable week this week with sudden showers giving way to sunshine and then swinging back again to grey, one Italian lady guest phoned home to Italy and her mother told her to "enjoy the rain as it was 40 degrees there! So our climate does have some compensations!
I took this snap of the house the other evening after feeding the mares in the front field - they like to gather near the gate at the end of the garden watching the gateway into the courtyard.

Are the shadows a little longer now and is the dew a little bit heavier? Certainly the grass hoppers have started to sing in the evenings bringing back memories of childhood holidays when I was allowed to stay up to a giddily late hours of ooh nine 'o clock.

So all in all it was a quiet week here - we battled the Ragwort in the fields each day getting up at 6.00am to clear a section of pasture each day and only have two acres left to do.... groan..Pilling the evil yellow weed up on the bonfire ready to burn. Spud has continued to race about on his newly mended leg and the new hoover broke down ................. So it was back to........ Wait for it Anon Currys!

Rained off from combining this morning after weeks of dry conditions so enjoying a look at what's happening at your end of the country. Ragwort I notice has become quite prevalent on the sides of motorways, thus it spreads into fields and becomes a problem. More work for folk with livestock, tough stuff, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteAnd we, too, sense a change toward Autumn but still very busy with harvest. I do envy your 'sea air' though, on our sand land it's been sooo dusty and air con on tractors is arctic! Glorious pinks and tropicals in
your garden. Happy pottering and a pat for Spud.
Pats.
Thank you MrsG.H. and great to hear your news - The corn is looking good in Cornwall and some fields have already been combines so no straw shortage with luck! Spud sends his live Christine
