September - Autumn, season of cute instagram posts, pumpkin spiced lates and adorable door wreaths everyone gets the knits out and fringes always miraculously make a comeback, we all start talking of cosy nights in front of the fire meanwhile farmers are attempting to gather the last bits of crop third and fourth cuts, we have the ongoing battle of leaving stock out long enough avoiding pneumonia not bringing wet animals inside tramping through mud to feed them in my youth bale riding across the quagmire although that’s not strictly health and safety savvy so we don’t do that now 😂😂🤌🏻🤌🏻 best foot forwards and all that. Anyhow here’s the next field to plough out and reseed, it’s always been great for mushrooms at this time of year but the only thing it’s good for around the feeder is ducks right now. But as it’s a bit of a sacrifice area im not worried. Should we pretend that mud isn’t a part of autumn??
