We have had lovely weather for weeks but have known winter is coming...
Doug has spent this week preparing, mowing various things (the drive, round the chickens fence and the hay field) as well as clearing the ditch down the drive so that hopefully it will survive winter without being washed away.
We have wood at the end of house so we are kind of ready although we don't have in a very good hay supply (2 bails, which will last about a week of hard weather).
We went for a quick horse ride yesterday evening while it was still pleasant and warmish. Overnight there was a hugh storm and it is now very pretty cold (5C) with occasional pouring rain or hail. Eeeeurgh.
One of the flocks of sheep have done a runner so we are waiting for a break in the weather to go and look for them. The fence blew down in the storm.
