International Peening Day 2016

International Peening Day — Internationl Peening Day 2016Sunday 3rd April 2016

On a very wet Sunday morning (hence in the poly tunnel !) scythe enthusiasts gathered at SkyeGrove to clean and peen their blades in preparation for the mowing season, this is an international annual event.
