That was a lot of rain late yesterday. The girls were glad of some hay in their shelter but wouldn't let Willow squeeze in. I hand fed her and she gave me a thank you kiss.

We had some severely bad weather last night. Not as bad as Cyclone Gabriel but 19 year old Monaco who took 3 days to recover from hypothermia after Gabriel was shivering this morning. Decided to bring him into the barn to dry him off and warm him up. After a couple of hours he was happily wandering freely round the barn while I was doing some odd jobs. Tomorrow morning, when hopefully weather will be back to normal, he will go back out with the herd.
