Then you drive off dragging the fabric behind you. Dragging it across the field also scrapes the mud off it.

The Yellowhammer paid a fleeting visit.

The Chiffchaffs have arrived.

Oooh. The gorgeous sunsets have started.

The view from the mud-face

Moving mud is no fun. You have to struggle to get it into the trailer then
drive it right across to the far end of the field and then struggle to get
it out of the trailer. Icky, sticky mud. Can't go over it, can't go round
it, got to go through it.(hands up all those who remember that being sung
around the campfire?)

Signs of Srping.

I have been stuck in the mud again today - so here is a prettier picture.

New watering system

I have set up watering system in the polytunnel. The butt is gravity filled from the garage roof butts, then an electric pump supplies a hose pipe and an overhead pipe that feeds micro sprinklers.

Three new hens.

Kate has added three Light Sussexs to the hen collection we now have seven - (one of the brown ones went to the great big hen coop in the sky).

The dam.

The dam is more or less finished. Just needs some plants on it.

Today we have been carpeting the pond.

As the pond is drained (because of cleaning out the ditch) we are removing about a foot of silt. Then we are putting down the old carpet from the house before covering it over with pebbles and stone. We are hoping this will slow down the silting up.

Moonrise at Ger Y Felin.

Today has been a lovely day.

Pottering in the greenhouse, planting veg and flower seeds.
