Doesn't seem to have got this far yet.

I'm in the Vale of Pewsey, other side of Salisbury Plain.
Maybe overnight?

Hi, I`m in Somerset, near Bath and we had rain in the night, so it is getting nearer to you in Wiltshire.

Cold, wet, dark and miserable all day (the last description me! ) - so I've lit the fire, the flames are cheering me up!

Default Frost!!
Just come back from a short break up in North Devon and we live in South West Devon and just had a call form my Lottie neighbour and i think i have lost some late spuds to Frost!!
Was warned on weather last night but it seem that it has wiped out half my spuds in one night...

The OLD Severn Bridge had overt signs saying that it was closed today due to high winds.
No Shit Sherlock.
So I made my way towards the NEW Severn Bridge, and over-shot by a long chalk, ending up near The Rhonda Valley in TOG country - "There's Lovely!"
and felt a Right Royal Tit.
Never Mind, eh?!
PS. Don't tell Trousers.... He'll Laugh.

Our first 'real' frost last night. And, yet again, a beautiful crisp sunny day today with a bitter northerly wind. Bbrrrrr! Which reminds me! When Trousers got back from work yesterday, he collected the logs and kindling for the fire, as he does, and no sooner had he tucked his tootsies into his slippers and the hailstones came down out of nowhere! Outside, naturally...

Snow - not enough to build a snowgardener, just a dusting.

Brrr.

Oh, and completely Brrr! again today, but I stayed at home with my cat. and so we looked at it all out of the windows. Which was nice!
Minus Three in the 'Little Girls Greenhouse' last night..... Thankfully only autumn-sown Sweet Peas and Jan-sown Bored Beans, and all covered with two layers of fleece overnight.
Again, a lovely sunny day, so I put my electric propagator with the tomato seedlings in, plugged into the little greenhouse 'lectrickery to give them a little more daylight before bedtime in the conservatory tonight.
I like to think that it's the veg equivalent of the TA...!

It was frigging frigging cold today! SUCH a biting coldness that got deep into your bones, but again, a beautiful clear blue sky sunny day.
It's so lovely to be alive on days like this!
