A sweet relief to feel the rain. A neighbour farmer usually makes 250 big round hay bales - & gets two cuts. This year, there’ll be one cut, & the grass so sparse he’s made just 75 bales. Winter fodder was already being fed weeks ago & these mares & foals on winter pasture. Hope for an autumn flush.

Spotty grey mares & foals in the middle distance, grazing a field that looks a bit like a savannah. Dark belt of trees in the background.

Judging by the weed seedlings that have sprung up in the kale patch over the last 24 hours, that hope should be realised. 🀞🏻
