It's been a month of strange weather; we can hardly call it "unseasonable" as sometimes there's nothing much to distinguish one season from another. Henry and James have been doing a lot of fencing, taking advantage of dry weather and dryish fields to hammer posts in. Last week when they were on The Lots (up on Sedbergh Road) they had to continue through a blizzard, as the fence had to be finished (re neighbours sheep in the next field). This week started with extreme cold, with having to leave heaters on overnight in the milking parlour, and frozen water troughs (the first time this winter). Then gradually warmer. But today we've woken up to snow again. There's only about an inch and it's rapidly thawing, and the sun is trying to shine. So if you see rain totals for today, it's not necessarily rain, but frozen snow.
You may have noticed I've posted a few links to old photographs. I've now put about 500 on Sky Drive. If anyone would like access to the link for them, please let me know.
