Do I need rain ?
Difficult one.
On one hand the grass is dying and that means I do not to cut ithe lawn  but on the other hand our water butts are empty and I am having to lug water from the stream to water the veg plot and trees and pay for the water I give to the animals and ducks.
I reckon that the hay crop aroud here will be rubbish unless we get some rain

Sorting out the sheds , bagging and boxing up stuff , loading the car , carrying it all 300 yds along track , then across field 150 yds to shed etc , and it is pissing down ! I am sick of it and soaked .
Nearly went arse over tit a dozen times carrying tools i can barely pick up , along a very muddy track , it was bone dry last week !

Darn it - we had a storm last night and I can see the lawn growing as I type. Ducks seemed happy enough though - as I managed to change their water and let them out to pick over the early morning emerging insect life and slugs in the lawn. Dull but humid here now  :(

its not our fault the southern counties were greedy this winter and hogged all the rain (scotland had a drier than average winter)


its overcast and cool today and we had 2 days of rain but the ground is still very firm...

now the puddles are over flowing, I guess the Scottish rain wishers must be happy now.

We have got areas that are flooding that have never had a puddle before.

Sorry AndynJ guess I wasn't precise enough about the area and amount of rain required  :gloomy:  I've had enough here too, grass is growing well but lambs are  due now.

Sorry sorry sorry!! Please could it stop now. River is almost bursting it's banks and when I went out to check the sheep this morning the ones that had lambed over the weekend insisted on coming back in with their lambs and are now filling Baloo's stable again.
