I've got a few ragwort plants in my new field so I am very grateful to the inventor of the ragwort fork and think he or she deserves a rosette. Ragwort rosettes are not the sort you want to be given. I'm hoping that if I attack them early they won't get to the flowering stage.
The most complicated piece of technology we used this weekend was the post-basher which was a present to our landlord Anthony from his father - just the sort of present that everyone needs.
It was great to see the last section of post and rail fencing going up.
