With the cows dried off for Christmas it's giving me a chance to do some woodturning. These will be for sale at Yulefest in Kilkenny at the weekend on Gail's Bobarsoap.ie stand

Over the next few weeks we will be treated to this wonderful display of starlings as they get ready to roost for the night in a plantion beside the yard. I find myself stopping work and just watching them

Grazed September reseed today as the weather was on side. This will allow more light to the clover (both red &white) which will hopefully allow us manage this as a zero nitrogen field next season, also continues plantain and winter oats.

Milkers still grazing by day, cleaning off a field we oversowed clover on in the spring to allow light down to the plants
