The merry mowers are back in the meadow

We got off to a cracking start last weekend in the first scything session of the autumn. Were we just more efficient now that we are seasoned scythers? Was the grass different somehow and easier because it had been scythed rather than mown last year? Was it the extra pair of hands of a newbie? Or were we just over-estimating how much we had actually cut, a frequent mistake made last year too? Whatever the truth, whatever the pace, scything with this crew was just as delightful as ever. Glorious sunshine, good cheer, gentle exercise, peaceful outdoors and plenty of cake - happy days.

We'll be back in the meadow over the next couple of weekends, steadily working our way from path to fence. If you're interested in giving it a go, we'd love to see you. Please talk to Cassie or Robert, or email agreenerpadbury@gmail.com
