19th July

It is quite hot already. I am mostly sleeping in the shade. And drinking plenty of water.

The grass is cut for hay. Stuart did this yesterday with a big green tractor. Next he will come and turn it over and throw it about, maybe twice! Then he will come with more big machinery to pick it up, squash it into blocks and tie it up. Simon will then stack it in the barn. BUT then in the winter they hay comes out again, gets untied are shaken loose in the field for us to eat. A lot of work to ultimately put the grass back where it came from! However I am glad that they take the trouble otherwise we would be a bit hungry in the winter!

Oh... and to get the big machinery in Simon says we may need to pull up a couple of fence posts......I am the one for that job! Though Simon has said that he wants to be able to put them back in.....not usually possible after I have removed them apparently! (How many has he broken this year with farm machinery? More than I have playing with them I think!)

But anyway, to all persons making hay whilst the sun shines. THANKYOU from all of us horses!
