Phase 2 of Part 1 in the grand hay making plan is ongoing.....
This involves drawing the hay together in rows, as displayed in picture, in the evening to keep most of it above the dew. Spreading it out again in the morning (i.e. 6 a.m. to give me time to get to the bus) and turning it when we arrive home from work.
Al in all, a bit of a palava... One I thought was only for a couple of days but now we have it on good authourity, from a wiser, slightly older and very much more experienced hand that even in this warm weather it'll take a least 4-5 days to be fully dry and ready for storage. This means it'll be up early for the whole of this week before loading up the tractor trailer on Friday evening and depositing the finished hay in the barn before the rain that is forecast at the weekend.
If it was easy everybody would be doing it.............

I am always intrigued by folks who live in a new country
Think I am too attached to my local library, tho Norway would be a good country to visit
best wishes

It's certainly a big adventure, and some of the cultural differences are marked (I am sure you will here more on these in future publishings....).
Moving to such a different country is not something I would do without a partner (or just some kind of support person) who is from that land and at least has some idea about how things function. It wouldn't have been possible without the Misses and her family.
Now, I am well on the way to mastering the language and starting to find my place in society and meet folk with similar interests, takes a little while but the future looks very bright...
So, for all you people out there with a wife, husband, partner, whatever from a different land that wants to move back home, just get it done, it's a great experience.
There's a lot going for busy, heavily populated places like the UK (and alot of things I miss), but (for me at least) there is a kind of calm quiet solitude that I found was always just one traffic jam or rowdy bunch of louts away!
Love the pictures! Peggy is looking splendid and happy.
Hi,
Peggy is as ever a very happy and ,mostly, obedient doggy..... She is fascinated, though sometimes a little bemused by everything that happens around her (she is just coming to terms with our latest arrivals (see a new post shortly..)). I am reasonably certain that she is liking her new life nearly as much as she likes our new leather sofa!!!!
By the power of technology, there will be more Pics as time passes
