@Pan mixer its been a funny old year for hay, cut a couple of bits at Upminster last week that are not grazed and get NOTHING done to them, yielded exactly the same as last year. Got quite a bit more down over last two days and variable to say the least! Still, it cannot be changed, so I tend not to worry too much! It will all sell!

I have an idea it will all sell easily, delivered a few to regulars of the earliest stuff from this year this morning, it looks a whole lot different to the stuff I just baled.

Upminster??
Is that not where you end up if you doze off on the tube?
