WORK REPORT:

(type, quantity, quality, location)

Today we returned to New House Farm for the first time in since March this year. We had a choice of tasks, fencing or drystone walling. We ended up doing both. The wall was one that is frequently knocked down by cows and the fencing of part of the dew pond so that the cows could not get to it.

The weather was very good, sunny and not too cold, but as usual we were exposed to severe winds at the top of the hill.
