My sheep are starting to suffer as patches of wool are starting to snap shorter with the weight of the wet wool.

My poor horse looks like a mud monster and it is far too cold to hose him down and get rid of it but he comes into his stable on a night for warm sugarbeet, lots of nuts and as much hay as he can eat.

Moving through the field gates is nigh on impossible as the mud now sloshes up to mid calf height and is like quick sand.

Poor you all! 

So far, we've not had it too bad. No snow; frozen solid until Tuesday night when we had rain, so yesterday morning was a bit slippy underfoot, but it was nice and sunny; heavy rain last night and very windy today, but not terribly cold (in comparison to the start of the week). And it's sunny, so it doesn't FEEL so bad.

Forecast of rain this evening then full sun until Monday. Hope it's right  and hope you all have a few days of full sun too.

I can do without the sun and would welcome the windy weather to dry things out a bit as long as the RAIN stops

Windy ! blew hay feeder over trapping a ewe neighbour spotted and rescue, he phoned me and I went over and checked the ewe she is OK just a bit muddy but no stiffness. Anything no tied down was all over the place my chicken feed store was blown over. Sheep were busy eating the fallen pine branches Ponies munching away on the grass chickens doing the sideways windy walk. But as a friend said its no that bad.

This is when I am glad I chose Greyface Dartmoors! these sheep just ignore the weather and get on with grazing. I turned up to feed them in an absolute hoolie this afternoon, fully expecting them to be under the hedge but no - they were all over the field grazing like it was a sunny day! I was like a drowned rat when I got in.
