Rolling in across the vale, the mixture of sunshine and showers makes the grass grow and saves watering the hedge and the vegetables. Unusual in August, the gateway into the avenue used by the donkeys several times a day has turned into a mud bath, so an area of some 20 square meters will have to be covered in mud mats. The slope doesn’t help so there’s now a plank of wood across the strainers to keep the straw contained and level the ground slightly, the donkeys watched what was going on for a while and then stepped up and down ok. A cool start to a warm showery day.
