Here in Oxfordshire it rained heavily overnight and is currently coming down in stair rods. Supposed to be thunder and lightening at the moment so just waiting for it to start. Tonight’s forecast is abysmal and tomorrow’s even worse and although I wasn’t planning to I may have to get the horses in for 24 hours. It’s far too warm to rug them but they have really good natural shelter to stand under.The ducks are happy and the pond is filling up nicely but the dogs may just get a quick leg stretch around the village.
I think late summer resumes on Tuesday but having just checked it isn’t going to.

Our weather says rain nearly every day for the next two weeks. Yuk.
I have clipped the 2 fat ones now, hoping it'll help get some of the blubber off.
Hay has been tested and is high fibre, low sugar, average protein and low nutrients. That's fine, I'll feed a balancer. I'm going to mix with straw and have secured a supply but I do wonder whether it's a bit dusty.
I haven't painted the stables yet, the swallows did a second clutch of chicks so I couldn't knock the nests down and not convinced it'll dry if I do it now.
My new shed has missed 3 delivery days and turns out it was a scam company using a legitimate company's name. Will be refunded on my credit card but still means I don't have a shed and no chance of delivery before November.
The forecast is for a dry but cold winter, I really, really hope so.
