All around us the fields have been harvested.
Today we have cut the grass and are picking up the cuttings getting ready for our Carfest friends to turn up later in the week.
We will be setting up camp and have a lovely chilled base to return to each night after an action packed day at Carfest South .
See you soon

Combine Rollin!
Being surrounded by arable farmland we get to see the seasons pass, fields planted and harvested.
The wheat across was harvested yesterday, in a race with mother nature and the rain forecast for this morning.
Fascinating watching the Combine munch it's way through the standing crop, saving the grain and blasting out the debris.
Then the grain is transferred from the hopper at the top of the Combine harvester through the long arm into the trailer of the waiting tractor.

Had a great couple of days in Usk,Wales learning to weave willow into a log basket and a hurdle. Amazing what can be created from sticks!
Thank you to Amanda and Zena of
www. Wyldwoodwillow.co.uk for their patience and teaching of this fabulous skill.
2 days of skill building with a lovely bunch of like minded people.
I will now have a go at creating log baskets and lots of amazing hurdles for our future projects!

When you use you field for a business you need to look after the grass. The warm wet weather is great for growing grass but takes ages with a normal lawn mower!
I used the ride on garden mower to start with but luckily we now have Doris our tractor. She is like our purple Barbie with all her accessories.
Dave was in charge of topping the grass as I am not trusted to mow a straight line! Too busy watching the kites, bussards and many other things that draw my attention and where my eyes go, so does the tractor! My defense is that there are no straight lines in nature...

Cycling in to or through Wi******er?
The South Downs Social is a wonderful cafe with indoors and outdoor seating. If you are using the cafe you can hook your bike up inside for safety!
Wonderful coffee, teas, cakes, snacks and lunches.
