Mab, look on the bright side. At least we don't have the midges  :relief:

Well there are a few - although they're a minor irritation - not like the evil Scottish ones.

The rain actually stopped around 1 pm today and a big yellow thing appeared in the sky  :excited: . Forecast: more rain tomorrow (and all the following days)  :gloomy:

Still, I managed to dry out all four wet & smelly dog towels, the house and the back of the car  :) .

Desperately trying not to overfeed Rosie (the Shetland pony) -  I've been trying to move her 'patch' of grass slow enough that she doesn't get too much to eat, but fast enough to stop the ground poaching - Not very successfully  ::) .

There has to be a limit to how much rain clouds can hold.  It's just there doesn't seem to be a limit to how many cloud there are.

Really weird rain in Worcestershire today. on the scale of wetness 0-10 its an 11.  I don't like it. We have floody patches, more mud than glasto and 4 very miserable children. More miserable now because the car won't start so we are stuck home.  :raining:

Is it ever going to end?

Send me some sunshine please.  Already had one change of clothes while feeding the animals, and looks like another set will be needed any time soon.  So fed up of this torrential rain - fields are like rivers, and animals are all fed up.  Poor foal has been here 12 weeks and you can count on your hand how many decent days he has had.  Suppose he will think rain is the norm!!!!
