We are right under a weather front fighting it out above us in Stockton. The coastal side is fair and bright the inland side dull and wet, it is sunshine and showers alternating as the front moves. I think I will just got to the Beach with my wind break umbrella and hot water bottle.
Gail force god knows winds ,our shed is well tied down or it would be in the field next to the allotment, and that's not joking, there's funny looking tall mounds of compost standing all around like dark soily snowmen because there compost bins are all blowing across the field again, and another shed roof is looking a bit ominous iv just leaned 2 scaffold planks against it hopefully to stop it blowing over,the allotments are all now just wet boggy cold sorry looking battle sites, its us against the weather at the moment down here in South Wales and maybe snow on the way apart from that I'm the only one up here and the only sounds are the birds the wind and the kettle whistling and i love it what do they say onwards and upwards milk and one sugar coming ,a pint tonight and start clearing the allotment up tommorrow if weathers ok
"Can't beat it can you" My Father used to say that after sitting on a wet river bank all day in the cold to catch a few brown trout, I never understood it Alan4711, I would think it dedication to ones interest or hobby. South Wales must have shown me its pleasant face whilst stationed at Bridgend with nice days in Porthcawl with the local girls or dancing in Port Talbot, the weather seemed always good. Dig the garden over in Autumn then let winter do its work, no help needed from us until the first awakenings of Spring then the saying goes "spring into action" that is how it is for me. Getting very cold now in the North East still I am not dashing off to the local hop as was once the case, watch TV with a beer and think about seed sowing next month.
A nice Winters day here in this part of the NW. The sun was low though, which made it difficult driving.
The garden was dug over on October with heaps of muck and leaf compost, so not much going on there at present.
There were alot of walkers out in the Trough of Bowland today, probably due to the mild weather, if the weather stays the same tomorrow I'm threatening to go out on the bike
Stockton a dusting of frost, high cloud amid a blue sky, sunshine, Cleveland hills a golden misty glow over the valley, all in not a bad day for January. Lamb ready to go in the oven suitably bedecked with fresh herbs and then a clean up for Daughter coming to clean me up tomorrow, what a fun life we lead.

Nippy in the Fens, but we have been so spoilt over the last few days, so it probably feels colder than it is.
