I have been doing my hedgecutting business for 30 years now and this week I was back in the area where I first started. Johnny D saw me cutting on my own farm with a nice shiny new yellow hedge cutter and asked me if I would cut his farm. I ended up cutting 6 farms in that area that week,
The smallest farm was a real old time Northern Irish farm belonging to a wee Mrs Irwin. Although Johnny had bought the farm he still let the old girl live in the house. Mrs I died that year and Johnny died about 1994. His son got the small farm, but he doesn't farm and decided it was a good idea to let the hedges grow for the last 3 years(economic depression!)

not used to this 'modern view!'....Sam
