At last the poor farmer whose fields are adjacent to our house has finished harvesting his hay, much later than usual. About a fortnight ago he must have heard the weather forecast promising a few dry days because the roads turned into a Grand Prix circuit for tractors. It was the same for all farmers who had hay to harvest. The farmers and contractors were racing around the fields in record time before the rain returned. The hay was cut, left to dry, turned, left to dry again, bailed (I was away and missed that bit) bagged and finally, this morning, the bales were collected and that was that for another year.
Thank you all very much for your great comments and interest. It's a pity I was away when the baling was done! We were down in South Wales that weekend and on the four and a half hour journey, I seemed to be on constant 'Baler alert ' in case I could get my photo to complete the collage, as I knew it was a race against time and the weather for the farmers! xx
