I live in the middle of the countryside.  I grew up on a farm, and sometimes I like to see farming stuff happen.  

Anybody who spent the last three years in Ireland can’t have missed just how bad the weather was each Summer.  For that reason, this year’s fabulous weather was even more welcome than usual.

It has been a pleasure to see farmers being able to get in harvests and silage without the worry of their equipment sinking (yup, the fields were that wet last year!)

Here’s a few shots I took during some of the work this Summer

I stood on the back wheel of the tractor to get this one, pity that I got filthy in the process!

We only ever planted Dill once. It’s like a weed, only very tasty in salads.

lots and lots of carrots

Some of this machinery is very impressive!
