The last few days have been quite mild. A couple of days of bright sunshine, a day of fog, a day of mist and high around 12-14C. The donkeys have been very happy although the bottom of the field is quite muddy. We'll take it.
Alex is having cataract surgery on Friday, and he will be out of commission for a couple of weeks. So we started pruning the orchard today. We tackled the two big apple trees and the pear and made good inroads. It was a daunting task, but the new mini chain saw made all the difference.
If Alex's post-op recovery goes well, we might tackle the vineyard in week two. He can't do any heavy lifting, but he should be able to prune vines, which is very light work in comparison.
