Here in North Yorkshire exceptionally strong winds and horiziontal rain yesterday from the east, tarpaulin ripped off straw stack, fields bogging ankle deep in mud, electric off for a short time. Today winds are still stong but from south and at least its dry, six very pregnant heifers escaped from our neighbours 2 miles away and ended up in the lane next to us so spent an hour before coming to work rounding them up. My cheeks are glowing. Pigs have all gone back to bed with doors down. Wish i could too. Tonight will be another round of extra staw to all especially the two lots of pigs still out in the paddocks. Hopefully a dry day tomorrow with the wind dropping, might manage to retrieve what is left of my tarpaulin and re-sheet my straw stack!! More heavy rain forecast here for Sunday.
