Oh...What a night !....

The boys back in the barn....and tasting the new hay !

The Nick Nacks.....

The girls...are slightly wetter than...hoped...as the rain is coming in the doors!!

Outside.....its horrendous !!

The boys have had a horrendous night...out...shivering and soaked...but there in now !!


What a night we have had.....

The weather has turned for the worst and I think we are now getting the rain and winds that most of the rest of the country have experienced over the past week.

The poor boys have had a night of it......and were soaked right through.

Not only do we have horrendous weather, I have woken up with a cold !

So its a case of feeling completely under the weather......I have brought the boys in, the barn is proving very useful.....indeed.

The girls did have a nice clean, dry barn, last night ! This has been short lived....as the rain is battering off the gable end of the barn....and running down the wall, onto the big doors...and its running in the barn....so, unfortunately the nice dry barn now had a bit of a water feature running through.....most of the floor is soaked...and the girls, have found a dryer end...to huddle into.....

I can feel another job on the list....I need to build a canopy....over the doors..for this kind of weather...to stop the rain bleaching in !

Apart from that.....once again the fires on and I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself....and I have

a..........runny nose !! ............and a dripping window !!

Oh No! A cold is the last thing you need. Wrap up warm and lets hope for better weather.

Jayne, how about screwing a 'weatherboard' to the gable end just above the door - it's a roughly triangular piece of wood, and throws the water away from the wall to drip - difficult to see from here, but it might be simpler than a canopy - and get well soon.

Oh no! Poor critters! Poor you! Time for a nice book by the fire.
