We are not alone

The weather has been  miserable - as indicated in Cold, Wet and miserable  and the situation in Orkney has made the BBC website  with

'Orkney cows stuck inside with the rain '

where Robbie  Fraser (the neighbour helping with the lambing  last year) interviews a local farmer
of course the headline  doesn't reflect the true situation

It should be 'a coo' . And the plural of coo  is kye.

But its too wet for the  cattle to go out in the fields and  farmers are running out of feed for them .
And the grass isn't growing so they wont have silage for the cattle when they are inside next winter.
So they will have to sell off some cattle and get half the normal price for them , so that they can feed the ones they keep through the winter

And our biggest complaint is the mud
