What has the dry summer allowed you to do?

If you think that’s the bikini line you must of shagged some queer things

Or you got long socks ???

Been mulling over the question in the OP during the day, and feel the dry summer has let me do several things already mentioned by the rest of you, and also - maybe more importantly - it has allowed me to dawdle.

This long, hot, dry summer, I've caught and scrutinized grasshoppers; really examined the colours and patterns on butterfly wings (saw a pristine red admiral this morning, and watched it drink from a squishy, overripe blackberry); followed a dragonfly to find where it layed its eggs; listened to the birdsong; and taken a book into a wonderfully warm, dry field of an evening, sat on the ground, and found that, as I read quietly to myself, some of the sheep would decide to lie down very near and chew their cud.
Haven't done that since I was a kid.

We got fences put in / replaced in places not normally accessible. We also got vehicles on to parts of the bottom fields by the river that would have meant ploughing in any normal year. Getting them there meant a lot more could be cleared and that next year, hopefully, they might, with a bit of luck, look, if you squint, a bit like 'wooded pasture' rather than scrub waste. That's my story anyway and I'm sticking to it...

It’s been hard for us fencing, still knocking pilot holes and filling with water. Many days of creosote burns in the sun. Crap grass for lambs.
Hay was good, hedgecut all wet fields that get missed, had more staff, but not really had a day off since June
