As you make you way to work think of the beautiful environment you find yourself in.
Consider you could be 8,000 miles away fighting to retain control of a four wheel drive..........

Not too different from here on the farm then, got the 4x4 and the mountians are almost in our backyard, plenty of herbivores in the form of aberdeen angus, we have three prs of buzzards and 2 pr tawny owls nesting on the farm and plants are slippery the world over :)

Morning Roy,

This has set me up for the day. The weather here in central England is appalling, so good to zoom away to the southern hemisphere.
Cheers,
Colin

A great start to the day, Roy. I look outside and see.....rain, verging between horizontal and vertical, trees bending this way and that, and its going to get worse.....

and I just reda that our local water company still has a hosepipe ban in place! Do they look outside? Oh, I know, wrong kind of rain....
