We've had some very interesting weather this year, it can be a beautiful
sunny day at Ewesland and just a few miles away raining like I never saw
rain before.

I blame that Rob Overfield myself, he's supposed to be in charge of the
weather.

Oh well, that explains it, they'll be saving the best of the weather
for themselves.

The Met Office roof always did get better weather than anyone else.

Not yet.

The foals definitely aint there on an evening and they is there in the
morning but how they's getting into the field I aint got a clue. I've
checked all the fences for holes and made sure the gates is shut but
the little buggers still manage to get in there somehow.

You're never seen my attempts at DIY have you Fred, I usually have to
pay to have my cock-ups put right.

Anglian rang back and quoted 6 grand, I had Timeless from Castleford in
tonight and they quoted 4.3 grand after some haggling, they're a new
firm but the windows look good, I may live to regret it but I signed up.

Thanks for all the input folks.
