Paula Hynes: A truly great Yorkshire show

As the saying goes, there is no rest for the wicked, and life seems to be busier than ever. We mowed two fields for bales this week — one actually yielded better than it did for first cut, and the second was a surplus paddock, although I’m not sure how surplus it actually was, as with the blistering sunshine last week grass growth has dramatically slowed and our paddocks are burning up.
We saw afternoon temperatures reach 30C last week in the farm yard, but thankfully, the weather will be more showery this week.
