Well it is winter, a challenge but very pretty at times. I had an interesting drive back from feeding the sheep at Turvey last Wednesday. I took hay in the livestock trailer to bring a few ewes home in the same trip, (carbon friendly!) More snow had fallen over there than home. Sheep were fed and looked well, I loaded 22 ewes from the same place as Tuesday but could not pull away the snow had insulated the ground reducing the frost and the trailer was stuck! I was pulled clear by a tractor, (thank you, Daniel) and had a more exciting drive home than normal, snow was falling and settling on the roads making traction with the trailer loaded variable! despite all the modern gismos on 4x4 and 2 good snow tyres. It was not helped by other drivers the best being parked in the middle of the road at the top of a hill on a bend pointing downhill saying they were stuck!! I did have to stop before the hill steepened and held off going up until the others in front had got round the bend. I got home but needed a tow up the hill to the farm buildings, I was so icey we were not sure the 4 x4 tractor was going to make it pulling me, Josh was driving and by using the telescopic boom to help pull us up saved the day!!
