The neighbouring farm slaughtered their lambs and for the past six weeks has allowed the grass to grow in the field where once the ewes and lambs lived. Tonight the farmer is cutting the grass which he will leave to dry in the field for a few days and then he will make bales of hay to store in hangars over Winter. The farmer needs to be assured of a good dry spell otherwise the hay will rot and won't keep over the Winter months.
Today in London moped muggers were raiding luxury stores. The thieves must be congratulating themselves on their easy pickings. Elsewhere in our green and pleasant land, a farmer is still at work at 19h15 as I write this and if he doesn't diligently plan to make hay he will have nothing to feed his animals in the Winter. There's a lesson in there for the moped muggers, that is if they can read.
