Who's worried about the lack of dry?

Despite the constant on/off showers it does seem to have warmed up slightly here over the past week and stuff has started moving. Wheats have definitely started to get hold of N3 and overnight temperatures not far from getting into double figures with lows of around 8 degrees so soil temperatures are finally creeping up.

:sneaky:



been raining all day ,back to the ole 'shiterino....' (y)

tbh i like the dry can get lots done with no muck ,no need to worry about keeping everything covered etc..saves a ,lot of time really especially if you havent got lots of concrete and sheds.

Was moving ewes and lambs away from the river at 3.30 this morning.

I saw a lot of theCulm was over its banks and the Exe flood relief at countess wear was flowing with a lot of water.

50mm here last 24 hours.

Flood alert was issued at 7.14 last night, taking immediate effect. It was only when I looked at the forecast at 10 that I thought I’d better check to see if there was one. So much for weather forecasting, perhaps they do need that new computer!
