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

New insects left behind

Every last miligram of capacity

A team effort

Good exercise

Job well done

A village hayscape

Getting the hayloft ready

Another hayscape

A load of fresh grass for the calf

Starting to dry

Cat investigates the heap

Fana Horse waits while the cart is loaded

Synchronised raking

Cutting the yard grass first

The horse needs to be fit

A man who likes his work

Easier on flat ground

Meadow full of blue chicory

Raking and turning

Celebrating the end of the job

The dance of the scythes

Who’s that looking at us?

A cold summer’s day

Chickens enjoying the bounty

Fag break

Cornering the cart

Takes skill to build the stack
