Cows know nothing about the weather

Yesterday I went on a quick bike ride. It was hazy with a cool breeze. The swallows were flying low (about a foot off the ground) over Leyton marshes. The rare breed cattle on the bottom end of Walthamstow Marsh were lying down which memory made me think they thought it was going to rain.

I checked on the intranet, and found:

As it turned into a hot day it seems that is not a helpful bit of weather lore!

I hadn't been that way (peddling north of the Leabridge Road) for a while so had forgotten to take a heavy plastic bag and a couple of trowels, so I missed 3 lots of horse dung for my compost heap!
