The Croft , Blog 4.

When I left school in 1958, I went straight into crofting. My view of this way of life took a different understanding , as I was now involved in all the happenings daily, and all - day- long .
My first season started in the Summer and the hay - season . My father had kept the old mare for sentemintal reasons ( she had done much work and provided a foal every year ).But in her retiement she had one small job to do each summer . The hay - rake - had'nt been adapdet for the tractor so she had to be called on . Wheather the the hay making was easy or arduous depended on the weather .
Every season had it's own occupation : In the autumn , we harvested the and brought both hay and corn into the stackyard - hard work I must say.
The winter was the time when most of the work of the spring and summer was brought to fruition , being used as winter feed . The spring was , of course , a time of renewal with the ploughing and the sowing and planting being the main jobs .
The whole process went on like this every year .It was hard toil where muscle and sinew were used to the full , and the final out come for every hard work was'nt large or excessive .
But this was a way of life , carried on by the same people for generations , often they were very satisfied and happy . And the end result was always the same.

I've noticed how you don't get all that many comments to your blog so thought I ought to drop you a line to say how much I enjoy reading your blog, especially reading about growing up on the croft.

Cheers
