However during the second week we had our first frost and ended with a downpour with the rainfall total being 107mm. This month usually sees
the cows coming into the cubical
shed for the night (sometimes night and day) and the doors opened
on the 16th and they got their first taste of this year's silage.
Because of the warm start
to the month we have still quite an amount of grass and hope unless
it becomes too wet to keep them out during the day for a week or two
yet. Most of our first week of the month was spent preparing for winter and also for the half term holiday which we spent along with Paul and Margot in Cornwall click here for more in our Family Life pages. The maize crop which we have grown was harvested on the 17th. Chris our contractor is in great demand and knowing we were going away on the 19th came early and started at about 6.50 am. These pictures show the lights in the field along with the harvester in action.
By 8.00 am all was in the clamp, which is now very full.
However they are bouncing
