First and last cut of the year.

Every year after the cattle have been removed from the Common, the tractor comes down and gives it a good cut ! This morning the tractor arrived!
Last year they only cut half of it, so it will be interesting to see how much is cut this year.
A few years ago the tractor got stuck in the mud and another one had to come down to pull it out, We have just returned from a week away in Scotland so I am not sure how much rain we had but I don't think it is that wet this year!

I do like to see the common being cut as it means we should be able to see the hares and other wildlife easier!
