We just spent all afternoon at the field pulling up and burning the stacks of Ragwort that has taken root over there. Horsey people will know all about this horrible weed as it's incredibly poisonous to horses, and builds up in their bodies, slowly poisoning them. Pigs can eat it, but then the seeds come out the other end and you are back to square one, so I am trying to eradicate it as much as possible when I can. Plus, if we see a small pony for the children, we may wish to buy it, and can't with the grazing in its current state.
My friend Sam came over with her two children, and they all had what I call a proper old fashioned childhood day, running free and building dens, without us having to worry about then running off as it's completely enclosed. I was jealous. I wish I was 8 again!
Trying to burn the ragwort.
We are home now, and all exhausted from the fresh air. Kit has fallen asleep on the sofa, bless him.
