Current Weather at Strickley

Wednesday 5 August 2009

Conflict of interests

Today we should have been at Cartmel Show. I'm not sure how long we've been showing there (certainly before we were married in 1970) and have never missed. In 2001 when the show was cancelled because of FMD we entered the photographic version. But we have been watching the weather and waiting for a few dry days, and keeping in touch with our contractor. He's now at the farm before us on his list and it hasn't rained since yesterday. So today instead of showing off our cows at the show we are mowing and getting the pit ready for second cut.

Hopefully next year the weather will fall in line with our schedule
