We’ve been forecast light snow tomorrow, blooming freezing this morning, trying to get water running for cows then rushing to a hospital appointment
Hopefully sheep coming in this afternoon, after tomorrow we are supposed to be hard frost and dry, all being well I’ll get the muck on
 
It's gonna be a while before poor old Henry Ward will be drilling..
Poor Henry, known as the most flooded farm in England. Majority of his land, and a neighbour been under water since storm Babbet, last October.
Now he’s found out that he doesn’t qualify for the governments latest flood compensation grant, because the river that burst isn’t on the EA list of qualifying rivers !!
