So much for all this rain forecast 🙄....
It's been drier than when it was sunny because there's been no dew and wind dried everywhere out even more, needs some on turnips !

Seems Bromyard is now copping a heavy storm, very muddy water pouring down the Old Road, from a building site apparently.

We had rain forecast for Sat, Sun and today so rushed to get hay carted on Thursday and Fri and we have had not a spot.

Much cooler than it has been today but still no rain. really feel sorry for Frank the wool and anyone down there who seem to have had a terrible summer so far.

Yes it is not much fun down in the normally dry and sunny south east. We did get some hay last week but still an awful lot to do and many cereal crops looking a bit sad now with rain every day. Good hay will be very short in the south east but loads of belly fill if it ever does come dry.
