Second mow of the season.  Each time the fields are mowed the quality of the grass seems to be improved.  It is a big job, but it only takes a couple of hours using a tractor and a topper.

 

The bottom field has quite a slope to it and the best way to mower it is straight up and down the slopes.  If you try and mow the slopes sideways, you get the distinct impression that the tractor is going to topple over.

Jo mowing the grass on the top field where it is nice and flat!
