Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 5 Site Supporter Share Posted March 5 Gorgeous today. Been sat in mud, digging out weeds, and didn't mind one bit. Birds singing, insects actually pollinating the cherry plums. Spring- Let's be having it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobyBrno Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Lovely walk up to ‘Two Lads’ from Walker Fold. Got a bit of a tan. Spring has sprung. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Nice and sunny in the Shires today, but blimey, it's absolutely freezing, far too cold to be outside - I've had to flick the heating back on for an hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T shirt and light sweatshirt tops in the sun. Bloody poly-tunnel has got up to 35⁰C during these sunny couple of days. Bonkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 Rain Rain Fucking Rain. It's been raining now since last June when we had our 3 week summer. One small frost in November, the rest just fucking rain. There's standing water all over, fields are like bogs and kids footy cancelled every week. Sick to death of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The footy pitches have been unplayable since Xmas. The backlog of games is a fckin nightmare and that’s assuming they dry out by next week. Much more of this and the season may as well be jacked in.

Shropshire is one deluge away from disappearing Same here mate. My eldest is gonna be on Thursday and Sunday matches but the pitches are still fucked. There's loads of 4G gaffs but nowhere near enough for the demand. The club my kids play for has 54 teams across the board and that's just one team. No chance the season is finishing. Talking to farmers and horse folk round me, their fields are swamped. Horses are normally out by now but it's just too wet. Can't be having spring lambs floating about in wetlands either.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted April 3 Site Supporter Share Posted April 3 Wettest 18 months ever recorded. 1700mm of rain. Un-harvestable food rotting in the fields end of last season, and now impossible to get on them to prepare/sow. Helped a bit with sheep feeding earlier, and the farm, despite a decent hay crop last season, are now running low because the animals can't be allowed onto the fields fully. Wouldn't be surprised to see some high-ish food prices later. Everyone is pissed off with it now. Had the odd nice day recently, with some warmth, but this is just bollocks now. But never mind, we're going to build hundreds of thousands more houses on flood plains to help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
