[tazbabe]

please let it stop here! the rivers are swollen, the fields are flooded, we can't get the jobs done outside.......and the wind today! our wee house is surrounded by mature oaks and beeches, the noise is incredible!

[feldar]

Sorry to here about your storm, the weather never is how we want it, but i would swop you some sun for some rain

[SallyintNorth]

I can absolutely say that I have never never EVER heard a farmer say, "The weather could simply not be bettered"   

[loosey]

Where are you Feldar? We're south and it's rained here every day for over a week now!

I've lit the fire here for the first time in months as the house is so cold, the wind is howling in the windows and it has been raining nearly all day.  Even now I am cold with a jumper and very thick lined alpaca cardy on.

Re your comment about farmers, years ago my mum said to someone - I expect you are pleased it has stayed so dry for the harvest.  Aye - said he, but the hops need rain

Aberdeenshire - we've had a bit of rain, water but half full but the wind today .... They plowed the field to the side and below up, did a lot of work and eventually planted tatties last week - today it's like living in the middle east in a sand storm or should I say dirt storm - it's dry so the goats are happy though - if it rains the ducks will be happy so always someone happy

We are on the south coast opposite The Ilse of Wight the cloud seams to hit the island and scoot off to the east, We have had the dryest Spring for a long time, even today we have cloud, wind but no rain. Our friends in Winchester have had plenty. weird

The wind here is scary - trees all round the house are moving and the noise is dire - last time it was like this I lost a 60' tree in 3 pieces right beside the house and I'm meant to be going out this evening but can't say I'm keen to drive even in the Landie  

The rain was torrential all morning but is "just" showers now fortunately but I too have lit the fire for the first time in ages..

Sods law this morning in said torrential rain and howling gales my stallion flattened a 5 bar gate and went for my old gelding in the next paddock - I got them separated but had to get him back, fend off the 2 mares who were interested in moving field, get the 14' gate back on by myself and then roll out yet another bale to the back field - it's nearly June for goodness sake why am I still soaked, covered in mud, rolling bales out and coming in to light a fire?

Anyone wanting rain is welcome to some of ours. Just bring a bucket we've got plenty.

[bazzais]

We need rain - we have winds - but please rain soon!!!

Plenty rain around here in dribs and drabs but just trip over a clod of earth and its dry about 1/2 cm down - were lucky we still have topsoil with all this dry weather!!

Please rain!!!

It has rained here for the past 2 weeks, but today is gale force winds and the stings the face (nice rosie red cheeks) .Glad I am now in the house looking out, instead of being out.

[feldar]

God who would be a farmer!! rain when you don't want it , none when you do, batten down the hatches and send me a few buckets of rain

[Frieslandfilly]

We have not had any decent rain for over two months now, just sprinkles that dont even wet the ground, parched is what we are!!! I am afraid the fruit on the trees probably wont swell unless we get a decent downpour for at least a few hours and no sign of that coming our way
