LAST WATERBEURT

With less than a week to go, last night was our swan song at the water sluice. As usual Honey was in attendance, watching and waiting!
At last the dam was filled and overflowing and time was up. D lifted the sluice gate and the water rushed off to the next property with Honey in hot pursuit barking for all her worth and "seeing it off".
We will miss evenings spent  under those clear starry skies at the sluice gate of the water furrow.
 In the early years when our neighbour Willie had the use of the water after us he would lean over the fence and tell many stories of village life.
