The weather is autumnal today, although it is still August. There’s a cold wind from the North and the sea is rough. This year is hard for farmers. There was sun, certainly, but it wasn’t at the right time. And we had rain, but again, it was at the wrong time. Plants germinated too late and there wasn’t enough time to grow tall. The corn stalks are short. There won’t be enough straw for the winter. Lately the weather is too wet to cut the barley. It needs three dry days. You can see, there are no tractor tracks in the mud. However, it’s a good year for all sorts of fruits. Here are sloes and sugar ready for gin. That will be a treat for Christmas!
