A check-up on measurements down at the field and a load of post and rail fencing ordered for patching up and making live-stock proof, together with a new gate and posts from Ringwood Fencing.
Natural England phoned in response to last week's email query about land designation and neighbouring an SSSI area. Although of biodiversity interest in it's present state, the relatively small size of the field would tend to exclude them from any influence on appropriate 'agricultural' activities on the land.
I made some enquiries locally about taking a hay-crop off - although a bit short notice and the number of machine operations involved would make it costly. Due to a high concentration of buttercups and docks and a few thistle patches, I'll probably end up topping it this year.
