We spent a few days in Stokesley in North Yorkshire travelling back home yesterday morning. There was plenty of rain whilst we were there but fortunately for us most of it seemed to be overnight.
The talk there was that the farmers are unable to get their winter crops into the ground as it’s too wet. Having seen the state of some of the fields I can certainly understand where they’re coming from.
Mid morning heading back home through the Vale of York it was still misty in places but the mist cleared as we headed south.
We’ve had a decent drop of rain at home too but it’s also been windy with a gust of 28 mph recorded at 12:45 on Tuesday that’s the strongest gust recorded this year. Not really what we expect at this time of year, but there again who knows what to expect this year.
We've got standing water on the plot again. I suppose there's only so much rain that the land can take.
