So fed up with everything being inundated.We have a low lying barn and there has been so much rain we are having to run a generator from about 10am to 4pm to stop the water flooding the barn.It makes so much noise can't hear the radio for Woman's Hour which is how I pass the mucking out time. Some local farmer has acquired a 'gas cartridge?' bird scarer which bangs v loudly and intermittently all the daylight hours to protect his silage. Even the haylage supplier, a local farmer is complaining. Our large dog is terrified when any guns are fired and is now extremely reluctant to come down to the field.
Everything has a silver lining, all the banging meant the horses weren't upset as they are usually when our ****neighbour let off fireworks about 60yds from our timber barn and fire wasn't such a worry as the barn is saturated!

The bird scarer seems a bit over the top. he can use nets to protect his silage, a lot quieter!

Flooding, I have every sympathy.
