Felt brave and dipped the toe in this afternoon. 20 acres down. Now it's getting piddled upon.:rolleyes:. So this one's for @eulb.(y). Not sure if it'll make you feel any better though. It is what it is. Got away lucky yesterday without any showers, so probably a false sense of security!

Mind you, I only took the gamble in the trust that it's to brighten up by Friday, and so it should be salvageable with a couple of kicks. I just need the metoffice and BBC to not muck their forecasts up like they did last week. Pity this evening didn't work out, but I'm at the stage of needing to try something quite urgently.

I've a paddock cut for around 15 bales. So best of luck to you and hopefully It'll rub off down here as well!

So yesterday evening was another depressing one, after a reasonable day, it showered on and off all evening.:cry:. 125 acres lying.

Got my hands on another tedder this morning, and along with the right weather now, it's starting to look more like it should.
