And today it was straw picking and piling to provide for the year ahead. I know it’s sunday, but farming doesn’t know about weekends when the weather is right. So after the typical siesta time and rightly so (hot today) we phoned our straw supplying farmer to check if he had baled the straw.
We were so eager to start that we just drove to the assigned plot and he was still working there. Nevertheless, there was enough to start picking, especially with our little trailer 
As the photos show Andy was the one doing the hard work and I was dragging and piling bales together in order to speed the loading up. It took us five trips of an average of 20 bales per trip, but now we have two very neat and high piles to cover our as organically as possible cared plants.
A good fun and rewarding day especially on a sunny one like today!!! And the surroundings couldn’t be better either…
