The grass has been ready to cut for a while, Peter has been watching the weather forecast closely to see when there is to be a spell of dry, sunny weather. As a backup he also checks his trusty barometer which lives in the hallway of the farmhouse - all predict sunshine so the grass has been cut.
 |
| The field is cut and the grass is left to dry in the sun for a few days |
 |
| An 'island' of nettles, thistles and docks are left for wildlife |
 |
| The haybob is used to turn the hay, aiding the drying out process |
 |
| The baler bales the hay which then fall into the sleigh behind |
 |
| When full the sleigh is then emptied leaving behind stacks of hay |
 |
| Here's where the hard work comes in the stacks are then put onto a trailer |
 |
| Peter, Spencer and Barry move from stack to stack |
 |
| All aboard! |
 |
| Comfy Spence? |
 |
| With the grass cut Peter's daily route to feed the ducks is obvious |
 |
| A rustle in the grass nearby and what do I find? |
 |
| The end result - the hay is in the shed and ready for winter |
