Grass growth (lack of)

Winter growth was nonexistent. Last 3 weeks grass has grown well. There's still moisture below the top couple of inches and there's been some dews. Could do with a shower or two now though. NE England.

All the eastern fields here are depressing, no rain and freezing winds not doing them any favours. Supposed to get a few splashes of rain in the next week but nothing substantial
 
I merely started the thread to find out grass growth around the country....it appears I’m not the only one who’s grass is struggling in this current climate
I’m certainly not struggling in general as I’ll probably be silaging a long time before you
I will check on the last lot of seed bags I got and come back to you
If your grass is doing that well what's the issue?

I'd hope your grass would be a long way ahead of here, considering you seem to be over 100 miles south and your cows are still inside.
I'm quite happy with how things are grass wise, if you're doing better then you're having a pretty good year (y)
