Rose

Even when roses are past their best they have a certain beauty.

The MD of the grain company where we sell our corn came and explained how selling it through the company pool worked. However one sells the corn there is always a bit of a gamble to get the price right and it is a commodity whose price is affected by situations in the USA, Russia, Europe - in fact the world. It is sensible not to sell all through the pool but perhaps 50-60 per cent and sell the rest ourselves as usual. That is the simple outline!

The wind was still blowing but this afternoon N and I tackled our overgrown garden. It is really satisfying when one can notice the momentary difference until the weeds grow again!
