Dull damp and dismal oh and windy as well only 9c outside but it was only 3.3c when I woke up so it has warmed up a bit, not going out today so will make Christmas cakes numbers 5 and 6 then that's it
It's rained all day here and it's still raining, not a day for gardening. So pleased there's not much to do by way of putting things to bed for winter. I've some potting up to do, may take some more hard wood cutting and the beds want some muck on them before it gets really cold. Dahlias want lifting and a few other small jobs.
Collected some bags of muck from local farms today for next year, took my fork this time to have a delve in the bags, last year I ended up with more stable bedding and wood chip than actual muck and had to make a trip to the tip with it. Would you just believe it, some farmers fill the bags 3/4 wth rubbish, with just a topping of muck and of course you don't know until the bags are at home being emptied. .
Coldish and wet/drizzly here in the Fens, managed an hours pottering to get leaves off lawn and logs inside. Frustrated by early darkness because of clocks changeing.
WManchester- Dull, damp, but not too cold out there today. Need to go down to compost bin with kitchen veg waste, but shant bother doing anything else outside today. J.

Raining again. What a difference a day makes. Grey and miserable. And we've had to put the clocks back, so it seems like winter really has arrived.
