Spring Weather

The weather outside was great today. Took the opportunity to mow the grass after a hiatus of nearly 5 months due to the cold winter. The hedges however were quite difficult to trim as they have grown haphazardly - we need a pro to tackle that bit some other times.

The kids at the same time took the opportunity to play badminton and cycling around. It was quite a lovely day indeed.

With crops now being seeded, the foul smell from animal manures used as fertilizers in the surrounding fields is quite unbearable at times. These manures are normally spread on the field from the middle of March onwards. Those especially the slurry type do give a particularly unpleasant odor, it is as if the whole town is sitting next to a big sewage.
