'Make Hay While the Sun Shines' - What does this phrase mean? - It's time to Learn English

you don't have to be a farmer to recognise that

the harvest season is on its way.

You can see here in this field there is barley growing.

Soon the farmer will come along and he will collect

all of the grain from this field.

Of course, farmers are very well known

for not letting anything goes to waste.

So besides barley, there is also a by-product that is left behind,

and that is hay.

Quite often hay is used to feed animals

different livestock during the winter months.

There is also a phrase in English which goes

make hay while the sun shines.

This is a great expression and one that is worth remembering.

If there is something you need to do,

if there is an opportunity that comes your way,

if a chance suddenly appears in your life.

Make hay while the sun shines.

When you have the chance to do it.

When the opportunity has come your way.

Don't miss it.

Don't waste that chance.

Make hay while the sun shines.

I have to say that is one of my all time favourite English phrases.

Maybe the next one that I bring your way will be your favourite.

I will see you very soon.

ta ta for now.
