Torrential rain. Always makes me laugh when people tell me how the raising of meat uses so much more water and therefore it’s not environmentally sound to eat meat (they say,tucking into their palm oil whatever..). Water, in this part of the world, is in plentiful supply.. and we live in one of the rainiest places in the UK.
We have too much mud.. already.. as well. The hen run is a quagmire, the lane is a pond.. but the livestock still need checking and the wellies have been refound..
The ground is definately squelching with more rain to come. So far no mud other than on the carpet thanks to the dog,who after ten years still doesn’t know how to wipe his paws!
You’ve only just started wearing your wellies?
Good grief, I’ve not been out of mine all summer!!!
yeh – I have waterproof trainers i wear most of the time.. and our pig run is arranged so we dont have to go in to feed and water them….. you have more pigs than us too!
Very wet here underfoot too. Beasties not happy with it, goats are confined to (what’s left of LOL) their shed, they hate the rain.

I’m so tempted to keep goats.. but know so little….
VERY wet here too – I’m just wondering how long it will be before I slip over in the mud ……. but at least the water butts are all full now, the ducks are very happy and the weaners are having a great time digging in the squelch
