Winter is coming :-(

Nothing new with this statement... its been a bit wet here!! Today, however was both wet and absolutely baltic so we loaded up the jeep and rugged up some of the herd in the back field. Not convinced about the new rugs if I'm perfectly honest, certainly not a patch on the older version of the same rug but we will see how they go. They have elasticated leg straps, not a lot you can say about that really, maybe, "which lunatic thought that was a good idea?"!

Stela had her first rug on in a fierce wind and stood like a rock, she says its lovely she also helped give everyone else a short back and sides for the winter, manes off and tails short. As the wind picked up the leg straps stretched and the rugs inflated so we dashed back to the house and added fillet strings to them all, in the time it took to do that the rain came on, rain with lumps in it, cold, painful lumps coming in sideways, disgusting.

Chamfron Snow Goose came in and has been weaned, she is stood next to her dad with not a care in the world.
