The weather today has been changeable.
I had a lie in this morning, because there was about to be a heavy rain shower, but then we went out and groomed the boys in the sunshine, had a short break while it rained again, then went out for a hack under cloudless blue skies (sadly soggy underfoot, though).
It was still fine when we got back, but also still soggy underfoot: our stableyard is not far from being underwater, and anyway a section of the fence came down in the night (sigh: two of the fence posts just snapped off at ground level, rotten through, so I dare say that the rest is also in bad condition), so the boys couldn't go there. It was a choice between the riding school (problematic on many levels, and we're apparently in for another fortnight of this weather) or doing something clever with the field, and we went for the latter: there's now a second fence line across the middle of the area that they're currently in, so that they have to stay at the top of the hill on the chalk.
After we'd done in the field, we mucked out and lunched to the accompaniment of black skies and sheets of rain, then walked the pooch in the sunshine. All that rain meant that we were running late, so after I'd washed my hair and done a few jobs it was time to bring the boys back in again. We came down the road with them, to avoid walking across the stableyard, and they both behaved very politely, which was a relief. We were just locking up when the rain started again, and just inside the house when the lightening started.... |
