  • After the misery of frozen ground now we face the misery of rain and more rain!!
    We were supposed to go out twice in the last seven days but both times had to cancel due to frozen ground but this time despite the rain we decided to go for it, and I’m glad we did!!
    HUGE SILVER for Simon!!
