5.8 mm of Rain over night (my new rain Gauge) The RPA Inspector was late so I popped to put some ewes in that Andrew must of missed, got back in time to meet meet him coming up the yard. Moderated my irritation towards him and he went on his way to inspect the low input areas I had agreed to conserve and next years overwintered stubbles (rotational) I had agreed to leave. He was a bit miffed that the stubbles I had agreed to leave last winter had been planted this year. then I popped to ludlow to collect an O ring for dryer fuel filter returned and got changed to go to LRFC for a Rememberance day lunch. Just as I was leaving he arrived back on the yard concerned that I had sprayed something on the valley out by Ferney Road and the Braken on the bank by the Chapel looked as if it had been sprayed I hope I convince him that I was too idle to spray those places as all I have is a knapsack sprayer or Davids Bateman which wouldn't go there.
