Summer and the Barn

Where has the summer gone. I seem to have spent most of this summer stressed out with rain and haymaking. It seems we never managed more than three days at a time without drizzle and mist and a local Somerset person described it as 'mizzle'. We managed to make hay during the one good hot week in July and then not again until the middle of September, in between we just made haylage. Now we have so much hay and small bale haylage it has filled up half of the barn! It's a good job we got planning permission to put on a side extension which has now been completed, otherwise we would have ended up putting all the equipment outside for the winter which would not have been a very good idea.
