It was our 32nd wedding anniversary yesterday!
What better way to spend it than cutting a 10 metre diameter circle in our grasslands.
This was not to imitate Aliens from outer space (nor to attract them), but to mark the site for our future round house.
The old faithful flail was hired from Duggan's Hire centre in Maghera, and, by nine am we had set to work measuring and cutting.

| Charlie's got the idea! |
 |
| measuring rope |
 |
| the beast - a flail from Duggans |
 |
| in action - starting the second circuit |
 |
| almost finished the first cut |
 |
| artists impression! |
 |
| the plan - almost exactly as it worked on the ground |
 |
| the crop circle |
 |
| we also extended the fruit garden, tackling the last of the rushes |
 |
| meanwhile... a storm was brewing |
 |
| didn't it rain? |
 |
| the largest raindrops we've ever seen |
 |
| making the water butt into a moonscape |
 |
| creating our own moated vegetable bed! |
 |
| raising the trickle of our river into a torrent |
 |
| the sun came out in the evening, but there's still a lot of energy up there |
 |
| leading to a misty sunset |
 |
| and another glorious morning |
