The area where we mostly walk is part of the ancient chalk grassland of the South Downs in England. Once a year, as part of the land management scheme, the grass is mechanically mown and transformed from rough scrub grassland to short, stubby roots.
Knowing Georgie’s fondness for rolling, it will come as no surprise to learn that she always makes a bee-line for the areas that have been freshly cut. Here are some photos from today and yesterday of the process.
Georgie and Jessie having their daily workout – what a fine set of teeth!
Nothing like freshly mown grass to set the pulse racing.
P.S.
Goodbear asked what kind of bird is flying in the background. I’ve zoomed in a bit. Anyone know?

Looks like they were having a great time.
Cute pics! Looks like they were having fun!
Those are some nice big toofies all right! And look at all that open space for running!
Weeeee….. what fun. Wish my four footed friends could join the play.
OH boy Oh boy!!! My pups lOVE freshly mown grass as well!
great pix…but…what kind of bird is that flying around in the background!?
Well now, I’m not very good on birds and when we walk today, and if I’m with one of my knowledgable bird friends, and if we see that bird again, I shall ask! We have a kestral or two that hunt here and I see them hovering almost every day. But I only recognise them cause they hover. Do the wings look like a kestral?
