In early December, our friends Raewyn and Bruce asked for some extra pairs of hands to help take in the hay at their uncle's small farm in the Moutere. They have a small herd of cattle which are being raised for beef and have a few paddocks which they grow as hay for the cattle in the winter. A farmer from a neighbouring farm brought along the baler and baled the hay. We had had a spell of really good, hot dry weather so the hay was perfect. The bales where easy to lift and a few other members of the Harvey family came along with an assortments of vehicles and trailers to transport the hay to the hay loft. It did really take me back to my childhood days when we used to help with the haymaking at Cromlix. We all had a great time. It just took a couple of hours (350 bales, all counted!) then we all had a beer and tucked into a scrumptious picnic which Raewyn had prepared in the afternoon. A great way to spend a sunny summer evening - we certainly all slept well that night!
