Cold, blustery, hail, and snow; all par for the course on this island practically any month of the year.

Apparently it's what keeps life interesting and encourages us to come to terms with our environment.

I was the only one to remember about the hour this morning, and the lads are regretting the fact that I have been on holiday, and am full of energy once more.

The cows hadn't changed their clocks either, and they were wondering what this idiot was doing hanging around the yard on his own an hour earlier than anyone else!

Typically, there were no problems to sort out (not that I am complaining about that), where as yesterday morning, a cow on heat had been messing about with the other cows, and had been pushed over into the feed trough. So first job of the day was to get her out, and thankfully she was fine.

All grassland has been fertilized, all the young-stock are able to run in and out at Tillington, as we continue to cart muck to the maize fields.
