Bit late with the ploughing..

There was actually a heron in the middle of that lot!

At the other side of the house it was the great carrot harvest. Which has now ground to a halt as "The supermarkets dont want them just yet." Seven huge great pantechnicons waiting to be loaded with said carrots have all gone home. It is an amazing sight when they do get harvesting. There are special tractors for removing the miles of black liner stuff that with straw covers the carrots through the winter. Another tractor extracts the carrots which go up a moving 'staircase' and tip into a trailer. This is then tipped by the lorries and another moving staircase rattles off the earth and places the carrots into the huge lorries and tarpaulined over, off they go to be packed for the supermarkets. Our feudal master, the owner of the land, has suggested we go and get a bag or two of them. So a pantechincon of carrot soup seems on the cards.

I am also much more cheerful than yesterday. Having calmed down and of course people can view the house as many times as they want - so long as they are serious buyers.
I have had the chance to meet my lovely friend, who has moved to the UAE, for an all too brief chat and to take off her hands some beautiful fabrics. My mind is now buzzing as to what I can do with them. One option is to recover all our dining chairs (8) but are we to take them with us? Also to re upholster two dinky bucket chairs, but are we to take them with us? Sod it I will just make some cushions.
