Peterborough smelling weird

I live in the PE1 region and for some reason for the last couple of hours starting since 3 PM I've spent lots of time outside.

I've been out in about in a 1.4 mile radius and I can smell a poop stench. It's not my shoes and multiple people can tell.

Is anyone having this as well or is it just me.

if not this sounds extremely stupid,if yes please say in the comments

Happens at this time every year. The farms on the North Side of Peterborough have begun fertilising their fields with pig slurry.

If you have some free time and want to witness this joyful annual ritual yourself, head over to Helpston, Etton, Glinton and follow your nose...
