Yesterday’s 19th stage of the Giro d’Italia from Ponte di Legno to Val Martello was cancelled due to adverse weather conditions.

Heavy snow falls made the cycling conditions impossible and the organisers had no option but to call it off. It just shows how crazy our weather is and the unseasonal weather is not confined to one area but all over.

‘Whoever wants milk should not sit on a stool in the middle of a field expecting the cow to back up to them’ ~Author Unknown


In towns and cities we sometimes forget how milk and butter are made. Farmers put a lot of hard work into producing these products and as we know recently are so dependant on good weather. One thing is for certain a cow won’t come to you in the middle of a field to give you milk! There are a lot of things in life that won’t come to us by themselves either. We have to make the effort and make the opportunity happen. It is easy to complain, give out and criticise. Sometimes the best answer is to get up, be pro active, do what we might have been putting off and make the most of the good moments that will come our way today.
