Muddy Christmas part deux

After endless faffing around in the mud, hauling 20kg bags of feed to various mud stranded creatures, checking to see nothing had drowned (have I mentioned the rain?) we managed to scrape ourselves clean and head north for Christmas part deux with my folks. Little t did his utmost to entertain and despite the floods we made it safely back to HQ in time for evening rounds. Nothing had changed, perhaps the sea of mud that surrounds the cottage was a little deeper, the rain still persisted, every living creature was miserable and those not indoors were worse, cant wait until morning to go out in it again!
