I learned that I should have pressed ahead with completing my whizzy new expensive ‘never freeze’ water system rather than pausing when the cows came in for the winter. (I only stopped because finding a plumber and an electrician in the final months of the year is akin to sourcing unicorn tears).
So now I have a couple of houses without water (tenants not happy bunnies) and more worryingly the old galvanised holding tank (supplying the entire farm) is doing a passable imitation of a colander :eek::nailbiting:.
