Sorry to hear that Maggie. It is most unfortunate to lose two meetings in a season.
Whilst it is snowing here, it is not settling as everything is so wet. We could probably not get far in any direction, though because of blocked roads. I am now glad that Edinburgh had to change their show date because of Easter.

Keep safe everyone, hoping the weather improves for you in Scotland and that all damage can be repaired  ::)

Yesterday evening I dashed off to the field to remove the shade tunnel nets we only just put on on Saturday. I thought I might end up on the Dundee road hanging on to the net it was so windy, it wasn't easy doing this myself, it took 3 of us to put them on. No snow here thank goodness,.

We had 20cm overnight in Balfron only 20-ish miles from Stirling yesterday morning.  No electricity most of the day so it was morning tea made on a camping gas stove - then half an hour of brisk snow digging at 7.30am before I could get the car out !
