Crofting is often described as the farming of fences. This is part of the view from my Study window. I can understand how the description came about!

Farming fences is what it looks like to me. You will realize how strange this view looks to me!
ReplyDeleteFair shares for all, be awkward getting a combine on there.
ReplyDeleteDo they still hang hay out to dry, used to love seeing that?
Pauline. It looks strange to me and I've lived with it for 35 years! To someone from Australia and New Zealand it is incomprehensible.
ReplyDeleteAdrian. The last time I saw that was in the Southern Isles. I haven't seen hay drying here for years. What little grass cropping there is on Lewis seems to be sileaged into those huge polythene rolls.
I think I may have come across the word before but had no proper concept of it. Interesting. And a strage view to my eye, too!
ReplyDeleteThey must have read Robert Frost's, "...good fences make good neighbors..." and taken it WAY too literally!!!
