Cows don't wear wellingtons!

One and a half inches of rain fell yesterday and last night, according to my rain gauge hanging on the washing line post!  Enough, enough!

Mark wanted to move some in calf cows from the fields today, luckily the sun came out and we decided to deal with them on Owston Lane, making motorists wait.  The gateways are bottomless.  You try turning a cow sinking through a foot of rain drenced soddon mud in wellingtons.   The cow will always outrun humans.  They don't wear wellingtons! 

 Anyway, we got the ones needed out and walked them home to the shed in time for calving in the dry.  Nightmare bringing in a newly calved cow and hours old baby calf if we don't move them in time.  One calved this week the day after bringing in to the shed!

Spoken to the BBC Producer today, who's busy editing the programme about the weather.  Its possibly called "2012: worst weather ever" or something like that.  He still doesn't know when exactly it will be aired, but either first week of December or the very last week.  He prefers the last week of December, as it's looking back over 2012's weather.  I will keep you posted.

Looking forward to a nice log fire, feet up and watch a nice film on TV tonight.  That's fine until Mark starts snoring loudly half way through.
