Mostly harvested last year's fermented grape juice last night at the village's 14th July celebrations. It is unlikely I will be doing much vigorous gardening today, even though the sun is out!

Sun all day and a high of 28C, hurrah!
Picked the last of the peas and cleared the bed ready for some beetroot plants from the market.

I'm in at tshirt here in Wilts Nicos, the boys have gone cycling in shorts!! This must be the warmest Oct I've ever known.

Crazy isn't it Nicos, I have been outside crocheting in the sun and I had to come in, it's too hot! I'm not complaining though

Just clocked 31 here - but snow is forecast for the mountains on Tuesday and with it dropping to 2 degrees maybe down here as well.

Must get the tender stuff in. And take me shorts off

First frost of the winter.

Just escaped a frost here (Pays de la Loire). 1C outside, but a 'cosy' 9.5c in the new conservatory, so gives a good level of protection so far. But we have frost pockets in the garden so I will need to check what has happened later today. Glad I got all most of my tender stuff under cover yesterday.

We have had a light frost too, 2.5C this morning.

-2C this morning, heavy frost.....feels like winter has finally arrived...and by heck- what a chilling wind!

Nothing down here yet (min 4) but the mountains have turned white. Yummy
