Just back after a bit of rabbit pestering on Culver Down with the dog. Still not raining.
A view towards Brading and Brading Down.
The view I see most of the time when out with the dog….

You might wish to consider a locating device in case she finds a wider and deeper hole.Just back after a bit of rabbit pestering on Culver Down with the dog. Still not raining.

Funnily enough I was thinking that on the way home. My other Parson never showed an interest in burrowing and it’s said their long legs militate against it, but there’s always one and now she’s killed a few and dug two babies out of a shallow hole, she’s clearly widening her portfolio of skills from rodents to mining for rabbits.

Wet & damp start this morning but brightened up nicely, the bloody breeze remains though!
19 degrees! It's going to cool off but you can't beat a nice day in the Spring.

At that temperature I'd be in Summer
Us too. I think the typical temperature for this time of year is 4 degrees.
It is something I miss about the UK, the very nice late winter and spring days; we had a warm spell last April, and at least this nice day today but the previous years I've been here it has been pretty chilly until late may and then the temperature goes up and stays there, so it doesn't feel like spring at all.

Well it poured this afternoon. The end of the road is flooded, there's a burn running down my front path, the garden ponds have overflowed, the water coming through the taps looks like whisky so the flood upstream on the Lanark Moors must be pretty good 'cos that's peat in the water and the river is heaving down; the weir is totally covered.
All in all, even for us, it's sodden wet.

Here too :sigh:
I'm soaked, I went out to fill the bird feeders in what I thought was a dry spell
I think that was relative....
The buckets that I emptied yesterday now have four inches of rain in them this morning.

Wet. Dog sitting. Waiting for a break in the shite as I don't want to get soaked again.

Cold frosty start to a marvellous day, warm spring like with only a barely perceptible breeze

Sunny and warm this morning. Managed to give the grass its first cut of the year. Duller and colder now so don't feel bad about sitting indoors watching the last day of this year's Six Nations.

We don't even think about cutting the watermeadow (ahem! lawn) until the end of April....the Council do the first grass cut on the 1st May.
Otherwise, we're just a mud bath.
It was a cold night, below freezing, but a beautiful morning.
