    Hello @Allotment Boy🙋🏻‍♀️
    Im doing the same, brought the lemon trees into the GH, did the same with the small peach, unfortunately just died, should have brought it indoors I think.

    I was the same @Allotment Boy- came in for some lunch. No lemon trees though  ;)
    It was lovely earlier and I sat, well wrapped up, with some tea - while coughing my head off.

    I don’t think I have the weather for lemon trees either😀 definitely not the peach!

    I could do with a lemon drink. Can you squeeze a few and send them up pronto @Allotment Boy :)
    Nice to be optimistic though @Lyn :D
    I'd hoped to get a wee hill today too. Ben More is looking rather fetching the noo with it's white coat on. It would only have been a little 'un for me though. I didn't feel great on Sunday, and the forecast was looking good for today anwyay, so I thought I'd wait.  :/

    We have two small nectarines and 3 citrus plants which will all go in the PT for winter but not yet as temps are still in double figures, even at night.   We had a 6C last week so put the summer duvet back on the bed.  Typical!  Too hot now.  Cosmos likes it tho.

    Coughing already @Fairygirl?  Hope it passes soon.

    Coughing is the main symptom @Obellix. All colds start that way with me. I'll be a brave wee soldier though.... :D
    I could have done with a throw on the bed last night, but I don't have another wee body to help keep me warm  ;)
    Wonder if @punkdoc has got any more lifting done. Good job for a chilly day.

    Fourth night running our hedgehogs haven’t turned up for their supper. I’ve not checked the hog houses (don't want to disturb them) but one was being used during the summer.

    Just been out to pick a few more pears ... just two more left on the tree now ... we're eating several a day and they're delicious. 

    @punkdoc ... let's hope everyone living in his hospital's catchment area stays fit and well and doesn't need his attention ... is he up in the Midlands near you?

    Yes he is Dove, worked with me in Sheffield and is a fantastic doctor and fellow Spurs fan.
    In true Cypriot style he also holds a lamb roast every summer, which is magnificent.

    Got to love a lamb roast @punkdoc .  When we had the smallholding we had one in the summer and would invite all our friends and our children's friends ... fabulous ... you'll have to try to persuade him to do the application (although I understand his feelings) ... it would be a shame to miss out on a lamb roast :o
