That was asking for rain?? ;)

Been aquaplaning to the yard & back this morning at 6am :eek:
Soggy Fuzzy's & soggy fields (yippee to the latter!!!:D )

Nice lovely soft rereshing stuff, just a shame there is SO much of it here in NW Surrey :(

Never happy are we? Mind you, the fields are sogging it up now, tho yesterday it was still running off the surface

TFF soggily signing off....
 
And in Kent too! Tis a miracle :) But I now know the guttering is blocked, which I was previously unaware :(

But really I'm so happy to see the rain :D
 
Not enough unfortunately... need more to weld together the cracks in our patch of earth! Some of them I swear a small child could fall through...
 
We had buckets of rain up here yesterday :D last I heard it was heading south so hopefully you guys got it overnight

On a brighter note... it rained practically all weekend and now it's back to work, the sun is out :rolleyes:
 
Can you please please please send it to the east, we've had a little overnight/this morning but only just enough to damp the top :(

We've had less than 50ml since the end of Feb :(
 
Pah!...least you got some, we were due to have some here in E Yorks on Sunday but I don't think we got any, I was in Stoneleigh in Warwickshire and we had beautiful sunshine, we could do with a drop or two but I'll pass on the aquaplaining though thank you :D
 
As far as I'm concerned it can rain all week, we really need lots more just to get rid of the craters in the field, and to make the grass really grow.
 
Yes I resemble a drowned rat, yes horse resembles a hippo but I really daren't complain! apart from last monday this is the first decent rainfall we have had since february and I am loving it!

Hoping the fenced off part of field will grow some more, so we can open it up and fence off a different bit and the bit that they're grazing at the moment will sprout through a bit more to keep them going.

Farmers have just baled first crop of haylage so also hoping that this nice dolop of rain (and a bit more later in the week as forecast please!!) might make a second crop possible and thus not such a crap hay harvest after all! ;)
 
another one who has to suck it up and say thank you for the rain. It has just stopped after pretty much non stop since yesterday afternoon but we still need more to stop our summer fields turning into dustbowls..
 
yup it rained all night here sohoping our feilds will start to grow & the cracks will go away.
dont think the farmer opposite was too impressed though as he cut his hay on thursday, we watched him baling it yesterday like a loony with his 2 sons & son in law (3 tractors with balers & the tractor with lifting spike) as fast as they baled it he was moving them & putting them in the tythe barn opposite once he ran out of floor space he had them in the garden where his wife put the gazebo up over it, was very funny to watch & more than entertained my chicken pox riddled small child.
 
Lay a large pipe from Scotland to England and we will send you plenty of water!!!!!!! We had summer last friday, its back to what feels like winter again. Heating on and brollies by the door. Anyone want to swap places??
 
Can you send some over to me please :( We last had some heavy rain on bank holiday monday, which softened the ground a little but didn't weld up the cracks :rolleyes: we now have huge cracks in the ground, and the field is starting to look scorched :o
 
All dried up by tonight - but a good 24hrs of damp (and very damp) stuff.
Nice to see the grass already perking up in the resting paddocks :)

And it felt odd to be brushing mud off the Fuzzies tonight - instead of carpet beating the dust off them :D
