Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! 

We had a fairly heavy fall of snow last night which means most work today is livestock related; breaking ice in water troughs, defrosting pipes, feeding and littering up. The power was cut at 6.45am and that’s when the Aga really comes into its own. The kettle has been on the go fairly constantly as we fill flasks for our neighbours.

Our tractors have been clearing snow and removing a large fallen tree which was blocking the A25, also snow clearing to reach cattle at Coast Hill Farm, West Lane, Raikes Farm and Churchfield Farm.
