While the sun shines… My neighbours cutting, raking, stacking hay – the high point of the summer’s work.

Takes skill to build the stack

A team effort

Another hayscape

Every last miligram of capacity

Easier on flat ground

A cold summer’s day

The dance of the scythes

New insects left behind

The horse needs to be fit

Who’s that looking at us?

Chickens enjoying the bounty

Cat investigates the heap

Job well done

Starting to dry

Synchronised raking

Good exercise

Raking and turning

Cutting the yard grass first

Fana Horse waits while the cart is loaded

Cornering the cart

Getting the hayloft ready

Meadow full of blue chicory

A man who likes his work

Celebrating the end of the job

A load of fresh grass for the calf

Fag break

A village hayscape
