It was time to cut the wildflowers in the orchard so instead of using strimmers we decided to have a one day course on scything with
Austrian Scythes with Clive Leeke. We practised getting the hang of it on short grass in the allotments and then we had a go at the real thing.
It wasn't easy but we had the excuse that the grass was knee high. It certainly wasn't the same as a sunny wildflower meadow on some Austrian mountainside.
