Title: finally some dry weather
Post by: gavin davies on April 02, 2013, 07:15:47 pm
Had a day off work today wife is away having a pamper few days and my little boy was with my parents I have a list as long as my arm of jobs to do in the house off the wife so I decided to have a day up with the pigs (I hope she will understand I did pay for the pamper few days)it was so nice to be able to walk into the allotment and not lose a welly or slide everywhere in the mud without the fear of falling on my face and getting eaten alive by my own pigs (they would have a feast on me) done all the little jobs I needed to do up there just all the jobs in the house left tomorrow

Hope the weather is changing for everyone else

Hehe it's so dry here that our pigs raise a dust cloud when they come running for their dinner!

Ground is drying beautifully, and the water table is dropping.. Still quite a few wet holes around though

I'm in Wales and we haven't had any snow at all. We've been very lucky in having had brillant sunny weather for the last few weeks but then each night, its gone bitterly cold. It was minus seven last night and that, is in an area which normally has a very mild climate. :sunshine:
