25/06/18             …it had been raining all morning…

It had been raining all morning and as the afternoon drew on, the sky was still a grouchy shade of grey. At 5 o’clock I put on a raincoat, gumboots then squelched through the mud and climbed over the slippery fence. The stiff lock on the shed door opened after a frustrating struggle and I dashed into the shelter. I mixed two feeds, grabbed four sections of hay and then staggered through the rain. I felt a warm snuffly breath on my hand and a gentle nudge. Two grateful horse faces hung over the fence, looking expectantly at me for food. Maybe going out in the rain isn’t so bad after all.
