Fortunately today is a 'non-digging' day as I have a small life outside shed
building ;-)
It really hurled it down last night and there are puddles everywhere today.
Still raining, but starting to clear.
Fortunately I have an excuse for this afternoon as well.
Just as well because I an completely knackered.
Barrowing wet soil does not come under the heading of 'gentle exercise'.
Cheers

Dave there was significant snow just 5 kilometres from here
yesterday. This morning the water bowl for the chickens had ince on
it. When Winter comes here, it comes in fast, no phaffing around, one
day it is almost Springlike and the next, snow.

27.9 just above our roof in Cheshire - we're still on old money as far
as temperatures go.
