The sunny weather is not all bad news. Our hay dried perfectly and is now all gathered in and stored. I tidied up our mini meadow with my new (baby) John Deere and am very pleased with it. I don't think I confessed the world's most expensive mistake on this blog. Last year I bought a Stiga ride-on with a front cutting deck. Yes! Of course I tested it. I cut a whole orchard using a friend's machine in Sweden. The 2 machines were identical in every way. How on earth was I to know that it couldn't travel uphill on our gradient??? A 4 wheel drive version would have been another £1000.00 - gulp! Anyway to cut a long (and expensive) story short; Jake at Power Equipment Services in Kidderminster (http://www.powerequip-ltd.co.uk/) came up trumps again and sold it (eventually) and JD is it's replacement. This is the (very tidy) result:
