This is the old sunken Road
It belongs to us and goes along the side of our main field.
Normally I walk the dogs along it in the mornings. But right now you'd be hard pushed to even tell there is a road there.
So it was out with the scythe and down with the grass.
Scythes are still big buisness here in Slovenia. When we first arrived, we couldn't believe what we were seeing. And last year I used the strimmer for this job. But as you get to know a scythe, you realise it has a certain charm. If you are fit, it is as fast as a strimmer. If you are not fit, it's a great way to lose weight. It handles shrubs and brambles so much better. It costs less to buy and nothing to run. And on a beautiful summer's evening, it is so more pleasant without the noise and fumes.
Half way:
And the grass?
Everyone raves about mulching, and I can happily live without weeding, so it became mulche for the potatoes.
A very sucessfull start to the weekend.
