Ok it's not cold, nor raining, at the mo, but everywhere is sooo wet. Am about to don waterproof trousers, wellies etc to 1. pick some stems for inside the house & 2. start to remove the old hellebore leaves. J.
10.5c so another mild day plenty of cloud about but on a positive note I managed to get out in the front garden trimmed the lawn edges and got the borders hoed over deadheaded the Pansies and Pinks picked up the rest of the leaves so very pleased as it looks nice and tidy no doubt when the rains come back it will all be flat again.
Still have Gazanias flowering when the sun comes out, in a flower bed facing south, up against front wall of the house. From past experience, should not they be long gone? This has been such a strange, topsy-turfy winter!
Stockton, out and away early to get some bits a paper and lotto, "oh yes" and Birthday Card for Daughter, nearly forgot, sitting in a place they toss pots about (have to be careful what I say, could be jumped on again) having a very nice breakfast and watching the weather. No it was not a Greek restaurant. Overhead it was dull and overcast though looking out to the Cleveland Hills I watched the weather front creep inland and along the hills brightening as it went. By the time I came out it was sunny all around apart from directly above, that has now moved on and it is warm. The sun has just started to shine in to the room.
It is warm in the sun Frank. I have washed out, dried & refilled the birdfeeders.
There was a lovely red sky first light this morning, which didnt bode well, but so far so good.
Had to do the shopping & then went to local GC to buy a reduced price Christmas tree! OH's choice, smaller than our existing, so I hope it's not too wide for when we've got the new china cabinet in place. Who forgot to take measurements with her? Daughter will have our old one for the bay window in her house. It means that she'll have to decorate all round it though. We have plenty of decorations to share between the 2 of us.
Whilst the light is good, am going to do some mending. Did loads outside yesterday so dont mind really. J.
Not been to bad here either bit cooler than yesterday only managed 8c not much in the way of sun but a fair breeze to get some washing dryish, but having just looked at my garden thermometer it's 8.5c in the garden now, days going backwards.
Stockton on Tees, very miserable and grey, never mind my Daughters have been so the sun shone in the house, it is winter after all but will soon be spring.

Another good gardening day I think.

Dull & dampish here too Frank. About10-11C out there.
Keeping busy inside today, plan to do some garden-related jobs later on in week. J.
