Monsoon season

Monsoon season is the only time Rajasthan gets any rain and it is lovely to see everything lush and green for 2 months of the year. It means that we can grow lovely fresh grass for our cattle and the trees we plant will grow quickly and provide us with some shade later in the year. For the remaining 10 months everything dries out again and we are back to being a desert land.

So the Monsoon season is well and truly upon us here in India. The rains this year have started on time for a change but they have come with a vengeance.

We have had more rain in the past couple of days than we had the whole of Monsoon season last year! The torrential rain is proving to be a real problem as we have been experiencing leaks in our small and large animal operating theatres as well as finding our lovely new cattle shade under 1 foot of rainwater.

All hands on deck as we try to repair the damage and bail out as much water as we can!
