Paula Hynes: The weather has been a-maize-ing

A first for the farm this week was growing maize; we purchased maize from our contractor Niall Canty last autumn

If you are wondering where the fine weather has gone, I have taken it on holidays with me for what is a well-deserved break. 

We went to Paris in April over the last number of years, but this year, we decided to head for a warmer climate, feet up on a sun lounger sipping on a cocktail.
