The weather, as forecast, is filthy. Wind, wind and more wind (up to Force 11 at times) and occasional rain. OH kindly helped me to feed the horses and ponies and we hung hanging onto buckets and horses trying to keep upright. They all ate well and have shelter so I am not worried about them.
No one wanted a dog walk so instead I ran them round the shed throwing squeaky balls for half an hour. That seemed to work fine, though it is not something I like to do every day but I don’t honestly think I could’ve walked upright anywhere.
I asked the sheep whether they wanted to go out and they, to a sheep, said they were fine indoors and please keep refilling their haynets. I said “no, you get what you get and you could go out and find grass if you are still hungry. This is not a canteen and I am not your slave” and off I muttered!
So that’s been our day. Indoors while waiting for the weather to calm down. When the wind blows like this, going outside is very hard work and possiby dangerous.
Keep cosy as much as possible.
A perfect day to be powerfully comfy cozy at home like the three in their beds.
On days like these, be sheltered and cozy. Sounds like humans and animals are doing this today. How I hate the wind too!
everyone looks tucked in and cozy. here is hoping the nasty weather is over soon. It seems from reading your reports that this Winter has been particularly harsh.
I love that picture of the three peacefully sleeping in their beds! Monster looks so pleased with himself!
Oh Frances, Thank you for taking such good care of your animals. Hope your bad weather disappears soon. Love the pic of the three in their beds! So cute. Hope you’re in your bed with your covers up to your chin too!
