28th March

It is still a bit chilly but the sun is shining today. The ground is frozen hard though and the grass is still not growing. We have plenty of hay, but spring grass would be nicer!

I am hoping to get some nice trips out over the Easter holiday...if it doesn't snow again...three weekends in row would be a bit much!

22nd March

It is grey and gloomy A-GAIN!

The fields are now so wet that we could not go out this morning. We have gone out now but only in the yard. It is at least not really raining......but it is trying.

It might snow tomorrow. That would be 2 Saturdays in a row! Snow is no good for going out with the cart. Simon might need to build a sleigh if this continues.

Easter may look more like Christmas!

21st March

The sun is shining. At the moment.

The mud is muddy.

I am muddy too.

I will make the most of the sunshine because I think rain/sleet/snow might be on it's way again.

I don't need to make the most of the mud though, I think that is here for a while yet.....

19th March.

It is a bit grey and gloomy today, but not snowing. sleeting, hailing or raining, which is good.  It is very muddy under hoof now, and in fact also under ears, face, neck and rug when you have a roll around! No wait....after you have rolled in the mud it is actually muddy over ears, face, neck and rug too..... Simon may not be impressed by this but I enjoyed it.

18th March.

It snowed yesterday. Which we were not expecting. So I did not get out for a trot with the cart, we had been out on Saturday though, which was good.  The snow, whilst not good for going out on the roads, is good for playing in and rolling in....so I made full use of it. Some of it melted in the afternoon but then it froze so we still have a bit.

And there we were thinking spring had sprung...........

15th March

Yesterday was a lovely day.....lots of sunshine.

Today it is much less cold, there was no ice on the water troughs this morning. I am hoping it will stay dry and mild for the weekend so that I can get out with Simon in the cart at least once.

It apparently only 2 weeks now until the clocks go forward an hour and confuse breakfast time and tea time again. I am not even going to try to understand it this time!

14th March.

It was cold. and now it isn't! The sun is shining. It is warm enough for 1 rug for those with haircuts and no rugs for those without.

We are all sleeping in the sun...well... all except me ...I am not yet obviously...I am busy. But I will be in a minute.
