When I collected the straw from the farm the weather forecast was on the agenda as the cows are still in the sheds, wise Bob said that this was about to be a Blackthorn Winter’, with sub zero temperatures and the threat of snow! It did snow today, several times, and the blustery east wind meant the temperature felt like minus two or three. The sheep were happy as usual and the sky cleared at dusk to reveal a bright orange sunset.
