All of the rain that we have had recently means that it has been too wet to reseed the top field.

The wet weather did mean that it was easier to pick up all the stones, but now we are waiting for it to dry out before the farmer can return to reseed it.  While it is too wet to sow, it is great grass growing weather.

All in all, we spent probably 3-4 days picking stones out of this field.  Much longer than I thought, but now that we have restarted on the dry stone wall, much of this stone will be lost in the new wall.

We have had a lovely sunny day here in Yorkshire today, so hopefully, if it remains like this, we will be able to reseed the field next week.

We picked as many of the stones out of the top field as possible, but the rain has meant that it has been too wet to reseed. This is a shame since (ironically) it would be good growing weather for grass!

There is standing water in much of the top field. If nothing else, it means the dog brings most of it into the house once he has been out running around! He often doesn't remember to wipe his paws on the mat.
