Nice morning driving to work, the sky was blue with white clouds and I caught the birds feeding first thing in the garden which always cheers me up for the day ahead at work.
I've a new feeder which is absolutely rubbish. It seems to leak seeds onto the ground. It was one of the more expensive one's too, decided to branch out from the cheaper plastic one's, that'll teach me.
Bit cooler today at 12.8c so nice in fact that I went out and cut the grass (rightly or wrongly) and vac'd all the leaves up from the back garden hoe'd the borders over just to keep it going over the winter, there's heavy rain forecast tomorrow but I'll wait and see.
"Ah" Posh, Thomas Hood also wrote the "The song of the shirt" you could say a dirge against industrialised labour, also known for his comic poems. Glorious day here on Teesside I had to cross the Styx to the Borough side a bit duller then back up into Durham lovely sunshine the woods at Wynyard in beautiful technicolour, the fields with a slight mist rising as I cane back and the sun setting in the west striking colour off the clouds. I went to see Alfy the terrier who never left my side whilst at my daughters, "oh" did I say also visited to see said daughter. Alfy wanted to come back with me, he knows his friends.
Well the rain did come but ti started last night about 8ish and carried on through the night till 9.30 this morning, so the ground that was drying out is now sodden again not been to bad today sort of a typical Autumnal day cloud and sunny spells but very cool, even now it's 3.8c so going to be a cold night.
The lawns are white, it is very cold, the sky a clear blue in all directions. The trees are a lovely rainbow of colour although the leaves are getting less by the minute. So you could say Sunny Stockton. Winter for a gardener is best cold Artjak it gets rid off some of the nasties that plague us after a mild winter, lets get it over and start gardening again.
Lamb roasting slowly, Roast spuds, plenty of veg with Yorkies.

The headline on a tabloid paper briefly glimpsed in s'market said we are in for ghastly winter, anyone else see that?
