Malvern Hills. Cold and frosty morning with bright sun. Wonderful crisp gardening sort of day. Just broken ice on my tin bath water feature. Come in to put warmer coat on!
We have Light rain in Stockton so says the box, wrong again. Heavy frost overnight then it came in black and hammered down now we have blue sky and sunshine with a bitter wind. The garden can keep today, the work is mostly done, a bit more cutting back now the frost has struck and maybe sow some beans in pots as Monty did last night, I do that most years but have to net the top of the pots against mice. I hang the bird seed from the garage rafters and they still get at it.
First frost here last night. -1C out the back at 8am today, +3C at the front!
Turned out a real sunny, breezy autumn day.
Have been potting on things using the greenhouse staging as a bench. Nice & warm in there this afternoon. Must clean it out sometime, but not using it at all to store any plants this year so no rush. J.
Went out this morning very tentatively just in case there was black ice on the ground as I don't want a repeat of last year but it was OK, it had been hailing about 30 minuets before hand then this afternoon it got out lovely and sunny but bitter cold, even now it's only 2.6c where as last night at this time it was 0.3c so very very chilly it is supposed to warm up quite a bit tomorrow but will wait and see.
Lovely crisp day - bright sunshine, with a devilishly cold breeze, though. Visited Hestercombe Gardens (just outside Taunton) which were lovely. Even better at the height of summer, but some of the autumn colours were great.
Light rain here, but no frost last night. The wind had changed direction to a westerly, so we'll get more rain, but it's better than the north/east wind we had yesterday, very chilly.

Hard frost last night, but soon cleared this morning. It's been a bright cold day, and have seen several cars with snow on them.

Clear skies and sun here in this part of the NW. A frosty morning though and a tad bit chilly all day but no rain.

Dull dark and cold although not too cold in Stockton, it is beginning to slowly brighten up so hope for us yet.
