Noisette at work


Noisette has been a boon. Normally at this time of year Max performs dangerous acrobatics with a strimmer on the side of the moat. Noisette has changed this totally and as a result my heart beats at a much more regular pace.


We move her approximately every two or three days and this gives her a chance to cut everything within reach (boy, are we careful where we put her!) Now that the field at the back of the house has been cut we can put her at the top of the bank. Being a mountain goat she thinks nothing of the steepness of the bank and just makes her way down eating everything on the way. The brambles at the bottom are next I hope. The photos a bit dark so you can't seem them but they are thick and grow at the rate of knots!

Yes, she's earning her keep.

I'm quite envious of you and your Noisette! Sadly our land, including the garden isn't stock proof, so it will be a while before we can plant our very own lawnmower! Until then we'll have to rely on the willingness of two teenage boys to push the mower around. As for the brambles, that's an entirely different story...
