Current Weather at Strickley

A Black Day

Today should not have been like this. In our imaginary ideal world we would have finished silaging and be looking foward to getting suited and booted for our nephew's wedding.

But the weather has been cruel - only a measly 10 big bales instead of a pit full of clamp silage. And it's raining again - with not the tiniest chink of hopeful blue in the clouds. So it's a day off, of sorts.

But it's a case of "do you want the good news or the bad news?" - "sorry, there is no good news".

The bad news is bad - Foot and Mouth confirmed in cattle in Surrey. 2001 is too recent and we're all thinking of what farmers went through then. We don't deserve it again.

P.S. - on a lighter note - I didn't know they had farms in Surrey - I thought it was all stockbrokers' houses and golf courses.
