so wet here even a human foot wrecks the ground. Its been raining every day for the last 4 years. Usually with a gale attached . Places where you used to take a tractor are just bogs full of rushes now

Danllan I am pinning my hopes on the building high pressure over Greenland this week that might turn into a blocking high stopping the fronts coming past us. 8 years I think since the last one.
On a plus side I got round straw enough for the winter home @ £22 a bale from the east side
