Well this wet weather is really starting to get out of hand and is beginning to stress me . It was the same this time last year . Its come so much rain it has actually changed the colour of the dale and the buildings on the farm . It has changed the landscape of the farm so much so that its taken on a nightmarish bedraggled muddy apocalyptic appearance and a sense that nature is pushing things close to the unexperienced or unprecedented . Yes it looks quite disturbing . Nature can scare you , even when you make your living through it .
The fields are just a mass of mud and even our quad bike is having trouble travelling to feed the sheep who are now starting to look heavy as their lambs are growing . They are looking muddy and wind swept and uncomfortable such is the weather . Nature and the land can only take so much rain . This has been the wettest January on record . Surely something will give soon . Today it actually stopped raining but a terrible forecast for the weekend is coming . I really am sick of rain . Whats happened to nice average weather ? All we seem to get is extremes . Extremes are not good and rarely beneficial to anyone .
