The rain and rain and more rain

A sort while ago it became law that all outside fires where banned. This was because of a serious risk of Fires due to the fact that there had been no rain. In some places it was reported that it had been the driest winter for 90 years.

I wanted to do some work up on my estate and to get wooden poles into the ground i had to first use a 5ft steel wrecking bar to drive a whole into the ground. Well we needed rain to soften the ground and rain it has been doing.  Sunday the 22nd was the only day for the last 2 weeks that there has been a dry day.

So please whoever stops the rain please switch it off. I would like to increase the size of the space that my chickens have to run around in but with this weather i can't get anything done.

I drive down to Gois via a small road at the bottom of a valley at the side of the road there is what remains of a stream. Since i arrived this stream has been dried up and looked unused probably for years by the look of it. Well now water is flowing like it's never been away.
