A sigh of relief.

Our land was breathing a sigh of relief this morning as the heavens opened. We desperately needed some rain. The horses loved it, they were playing and rolling, loving the freshness and the lack of flies after the last few weeks of hot sticky weather.
It's my parents last day today, they go home tomorrow (sigh)so we went off for lunch in our local town. Whilst out we finally bought some water tanks (it's only taken us 2years) to collect the thousands of gallons of water that come off our roof and run straight into the gateway of the field. Hmmmm, we may get them set up before winter. :-))
Just been and checked the horses, they are absolutely filthy!! Happy though.
