Lovely pics. We've also seen it for a few days.

Looks like it's confusing those two front sheep tho  :D

It was here too  :sunshine:

I had so much work to do outside yesterday - and it was a joy to be out there, got everything done and added a few freckles  ;D

It's been lovely weather here for a few days now, really trying to get as much done as poss. while it lasts.  Weighing lambs yesterday, and finishing making hen house.

Where's here?

Still dry in Cumbria but cloudy now, though clear, bright and frost this morning. Would much rather have cold than wet. Dry will do  :thumbsup:

Here in the Borders too, burning off thick frost and ice on the wet areas - but I've learnt not to trust it and it will have to prove it's worth before I consider trusting it to stick around, think I'll have to wait for that...

Fantastic weekend  :sunshine: :sunshine: :sunshine:  but woke up today to fog and rain - the sort of rain that doesnt look much but you get very wet in it, and the grass is getting very soggy again  :raining: . We are in Leominster, Herefordshire.

Well, its gone now  :-[


Still, it was nice when it lasted. I had those ewe lambs in for worming today seem to be coming along in spite of the weather, which is good.

Frosty misty start to the day but blue skies and bright  :sunshine: now and weatherman says same for tomorrow.  Forecast  :raining: for Thursday though, then a good weekend.  :fc:  hope he's right.
