Make hay while the sun shines

A little late — although not too late! — the hay was baled for the winter months. It was the first time that we have done it ourselves, having in previous years had help from a farmer on Stronsay, and so there were few hic-ups, but all was completed successfully in the end. Below, are some pictures of the work:

Br. Louis Mary, F.SS.R. turns the hay in order to dry it out competely.


He then formed it into rows for the baler to pick up.


Fr. Anthony Mary, F.SS.R. makes the bales.






A completed bale is ejected from the baler.


Job done!

The end of a beautiful day.
