What an appalling weekend. It has not stopped raining since Saturday evening and I mean RAINING! Last night it could be described as torrential. I feel depressed and cheated - I cant stand being inside when I have a day off - it's pure torture. The dogs are bored, the cats are grumpy and the poor, poor chickens - they are living in a quagmire. I tried to cover their run with hemp to help dry the mud out but this just made it even more attractive to dig up and thereby creating more mud pies!!
Many of my plants that were showing such progress and were blooming early have been weighed down and broken with the rain and wind and the bottom of the garden is flooded - again. It feels all too much like that incredibly bad spell of weather we had in late winter when I just felt desperate and incredibly miserable - lets hope this spate of rain doesnt last as long!
It was also the day of the Surrey County Show - that must have been a complete and utter wash out - thank God I didnt buy any tickets!
On the plus side though this is the first day we've had three eggs - in varying sizes - Leia still lays very small almost bantam size eggs but I'm sure they'll get bigger as she gets older, she's still only a few weeks old.
