Grass and Muck...

Bit of a day out on Wednesday with my friend Graham Reed from Lightfoot Alpacas in Kent. 
We went to the Grass and Muck event. We wandered round the a royal Agricultural Centre, Stoneliegh kicking tractor tyres and asking hard questions about the multitude of grass cutting, baling, turning, raking and chopping machines that were being demonstrated. They were huge, shifted tons at a time and looked like 'Transformers' as the hydraulics unfolded to reveal their true capabilities.
For a short while it seemed to us that the whole world was obsessed with harvesting grass, which it was.
There were more tractors for a man to look at than anyone could imagine. The sun was shining and the air was full of the smell of new cut grass. Very reassuring, extremely interesting and very therapeutic. Thanks Graham.
