Saturday 28th May:

Were doing Saturdays journal on Sunday morning as it was a busy day. We got the grass cut in the rearing paddocks. I went to the Cash and Carry. We had a major tidying job to do after the grass cutting. On a very happy note my head lad Padgie lost his wedding ring and golden chain last Wednesday. He spent a day looking for it but it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. His young lad Kuba paid €9.99 for a metal detector. He walked into the first rearing paddock and found it among the grass and sand. Incredible.

Its another gorgeous morning and a typical Sunday where we cook, clean, feed and let hounds out of kennels. We have a bit of paperwork to do and I’ll get shopping for myself as I have company coming to stay with me. We will do all the schooling lists and prepare for a busy week.
