Meadowland

[poliphilo]

Matthew sent his man into the fields with a strimmer yesterday and had him cut down all the young saplings.  Woodland, he explains, is worth less than meadowland.

According to the National Trust, Britain has lost 97% of its meadowland since the war. Isn't that frightful!

I took a folding chair into the field this afternoon and sat and read a book (and took a nap) head high in grasses and buttercups.

Please tell me the man took his dog with him when he went to mow the meadow. And, preferably, that he was later joined by a succession of other men.
