Morning all and thanks to any one who as just joined.   I am going to start of with a moan about the weather, walking in the field  this morning with the dog was bloody awful it was cold and wet and i was frozen, the dog was soaking wet and my boots covered in mud, the bottoms of my trousers were soaking wet. 

 I feel depressed to think this is only the beggining of the winter months and probably the best of the weather for six months. brrrrrrrrrrrr. How on earth can any one say they like winter in this country i wonder.
