a bit wet....

after all the rain yesterday, we were a bit worried - think i mentioned the flood warning?

when i got down to the stables this morning the river was well over it's bank, not quite as far as the cattle grid but almost, and the muck heap was developing ponds from underneath.....

i tried to take a photo, but only had the phone and it was just not quite light enough (mind, i realised later I should have changed the setting as well)

anyway, here's the afterwards:




so the horses stayed in until about 1.30, and i went down after lunch to muck out again and we got them in about 3 (including some grass on the lawn, which they appreciated!)

at least the pond in the lane meant that i could get molly's feet washed out without scrubbing! an advantage! plus she can't avoid the puddle which is good for her getting used to going through them! We did a deliberate diversion via that for the purpose!

edited to add: for some reason,the add video button is NOT available, booo - ah! sorted, went back to old settings... help was helpful!

That's a lot of water, and close to the fence line. No wonder you worry. Can't send the sunshine today as we didn't have any either.

Wishing you dry paddocks.

Hoping for drier days. Not fun to deal with all that muck.
