Next crop

The farmers who bought these fields off the guy we sold them to are such good farmers.
They had a short ley crop of grass early in the year which they took off for a silage crop. Immediately the plough was out & they have never stopped working the whole 196 acres until it’s ready for planting the maize seed today.
Such a contrast to the farmer who bought the land off us....he didn’t care a toss, it grieved us to see it go downhill.
These people are in a big way though with a staff of fifteen & lots of expensive machines. They use the land solely for feeding their 500 plus cows which are on another farm.

Three good things:
1. I sat outside today with my book.
2. A bunch of tulips for the kitchen table.
3. We are on YouTube & Rightmove.....first day today we are official!

Knew this one was yours when I saw the whirligig washing line and Harry's neat and tidy raised bed garden plot ! Such a beautiful landscape to look out on - in between reading your book ! Make the most of that view while you have got it !

Nice to see the farm being well cared for. Good luck with the sale. A hard decision to move but now it’s real, hopefully it goes smoothly.

Good to see your old farm in good hands lets hope the new owners of your house love it like you do..

[Taffy]

It's important to see the farm being cared for so well. Makes your decision to sell feel like it was worthwhile. And a pretty scene as well.

nice to know the land is being looked after again

[Lou Ann]

So wonderful when people are good land stewards. Hope all goes well with your home sale.

[Sarah Bremner]

Lovely to see and so lovely to move on knowing 'your land' is in good care.
Now must go and check out Rightmove....I did ask Allan if he fancied a move! 😄😄😄

Sounds like you can have a rest now after all that tidying and painting! The summer is coming for you and that's a good time to sell.

[Phil Howcroft]

fabulous story telling Pat and i love how your washing line has nipped into the frame

[Babs]

Good luck with the sale.

[Rick Schies]

It's beautiful countryside. It looks so much like our area here

[Jane Pittenger]

So glad you’ve gotten to see your belly vex land go back into caring hands. Hope you have a quick and easy sale

[Casablanca]

Glad to see that you are happy with at least one of your sales. It's terribly hard to let go of something you sell and twice as hard if the person doesn't care for it as you would have. Nice picture! All looks very diligently worked.

[Issi Bannerman]

Our next project - the raised garden beds. However, one for next year! Lovely image and story.

[Margo Sayer]

This is in splendid order. They clearly know what they're doing. Wonderful to see Nature's rhythm respected so well.

[Lesley Aldridge]

Nice to know the land is being looked after, your home looks lovely online, immaculate, that easy chair by the aga has been a useful prop for your lovely photos. Good luck with the sale x
