We had an almighty downpour of hailstones while milking this evening, the neighbour across the way in the east was baling and had to stop. I mowed a field before the cows three fields north of the yard not a drop of rain fell on it

Well it's warm enough to shower outside so I can save water on the water bill.

Brutes of showers going over all morning. Bright in between but ground must be wet.

Need to top and spread fert but weather is a pain.

Had a look at MTs forecast over in the weather forum.
It wouldn't inspire much for the week ahead, frost at night and for the north of the country 10-14c highs with Wednesday being the best day.
