« Day 45 - Harvesting the crop we've been following | Main | Meet John »

The last day

It’s Friday the 4th of August, harvest day 46 in East Anglia and our last day down here. We should finish early evening if everything goes to plan…

On reflection it’s been a pretty arduous campaign. What’s interesting of course is that we’ve come out of the hottest, dryest July on record and four days into august we’ve already had more rain than the average rainfall for the entire month!

We’ve have over 50mm of rainfall in two-and-a-half days which has caused some interruptions to our progress as it was difficult to travel in the field. We’ve had a similar situation at Hull, but we’ve now got five or six days left up there to complete everything.

I’ll talk to you a bit later on.
