Cleaning out the yard midden today. This horse muck from our liveries is spread on our stubble fields putting organic nutrients back in the soil. This midden was originally used for when cow muck was cleaned out of the shippons in the sandstone barn you can see behind. Hay was stored in the loft above and then fed to the cows below. The barn itself was built in 1876 by my great great grandfather William Hough, so it is celebrating its 150th year! At the time William was a church warden at St Peter's Church in Lower Heswall. After the stone masons had finished repairing the Church after the great storm of 1875, William asked them to build him a barn, and here it is
still in use to this day.

Combining our spring barley this week, which considering the lack of rain we've had this year wasn't as bad as expected. Straw then baled and stacked by father and son team. Will's first year stacking went very well with all stacks standing.

Fledgling Swallows were very vocal tonight. Nice to see them doing well.

One of the oak trees on our farm was exuding a little sap from its bark. It smelled slightly fermented and was clearly attracting the attention of a lot of Red Admiral butterflies who appeared to be feeding off it.
