No so bad here nearer the coast but 15miles inland yeah that does happen.
Most of that actually missed us,only brought the sucklers in yesterday and they could have stayed out really until the weather breaks wet. I’d run out of second quality bales for them and had to get them in to feed clamp silage.
We had 7" in the 10 days from the 28th of October.

Met office speak thusly:
October 2021
The weather during most of October was unsettled and wet, though there was a drier spell across most areas between the 8th and 17th. Temperatures were above average for much of the time, and frosts were few, but sunshine was in short supply for some areas. The heaviest rain came in the closing days of the month, with some notable totals in Cumbria, and there were gales also on the 31st.
The provisional UK mean temperature was 10.9 °C, which is 1.4 °C above the 1981-2010 long-term average. For most areas, mean monthly minima were slightly more elevated relative to normal than mean monthly maxima. Many parts of the UK saw more rainfall than average, with a few areas near average and only isolated spots below average. The wettest areas were southern Scotland, Cumbria, the north-west corner of Wales, and southern England, with many places above 150% of average, and the UK overall had 128% of average October rainfall. Sunshine was somewhat below average in Scotland, northern and south-eastern England, and most of Wales, giving an overall figure of 87% of average.
The UK monthly extremes were as follows: A maximum temperature of 22.9 °C was recorded at Thornes Park (West Yorkshire) on the 8th. A minimum temperature of -3.6 °C was recorded at Redesdale Camp (Northumberland) on the 16th. In the 24 hours ending at 0900 UTC on the 28th, 222.6 mm of rain fell at Honister Pass (Cumbria). A wind gust of 65 knots (75 mph) was recorded at Needles (Isle of Wight) on the 31st.

Ground holding up very well here, can't remember when we had any proper rain now, bit of a shower the other night but nothing to speak of. Great for getting on with stuff. Only fear is whenever it does rain, will it know when to stop?!

What’s the point in doing that

It did that here too, I'm kinda fascinated by the parallels between the seasons we've had, very similar.
As with you guys, it was very pleasant as normally May it gets wet and stays wet, and we haven't got wet yet. Hopefully it doesn't derail any plans as it was really enjoyable to be free of mud

Apart from the cold barren may I could put up with a repeat of this years weather every year for the rest of my life. Dry ground does make farming in this part of the world loads easier!!

Tidy it up ready for spring and the grass won't take the hit from being rolled in the spring

We drilled into dust in December 2016, we couldn't drill any earlier as we were waiting for a green up in the pasture we were spraying off.
This year has been a bit damper than that in the autumn but we are on the back of 150% of normal rain in the 12 months to October 1st.

I’m off out spreading tomorrow.
I walked the land and sampled it last week, all 150+ acres in my boots, no wellies required.
Lovely.
