till the council closed a crossing on the A303, we were a rat run for 3 schools, amazing how people can get so upset, at the thought of a late delivery of child, to school, you just stood in the middle of the road, and ignored the comments, a fair few thought they could 'creep' through, they learn't. The difference in traffic, since they closed the crossing was quite staggering, unless there is a hold up, then it's nearly nose to tale !
At college in newton abbot, that 9.30 am was critical, in how fast you could get to college, missing it, meant queuing.

Just a but jealous of the pictures of cows out and tractors on fields. Had a chat with a local rep today who meassures rainfall and we have had 240mm of rain in February, and our heavy land is sodden. When checking the mole trapos today, in nice sunshine I might add, the tunnels were full of water.🤦‍♂️ However with the good weather forecast I am sure in 5 days things will look better. Also need to get slurry out now, as pit is over the top!!

A fortnight of dry weather on the forecast, did you save the rain in a reservoir?!
