The bed nearest the house at the back which hasn't seen the sun for months is frozen solid, but the rest of the garden which is now sunny nearly all day has lovely freeflowing soil.
I had to water some pots in the sun which were rather dry!
Found a vine weevil crawling across the hall floor . Splat!! The only good vine weevil is a dead vine weevil.
I'm having a heat wave, well 8.1c is a heat wave after the past few weeks, been lovely in the garden today with the sun, and there was some heat in it if I got out of the prevailing wind, supposed to be a bit warmer tomorrow as well but I won't hold my breath.
Still beautiful sunshine all day after about -7c overnight. Discarded the scarf then the fleece, stopped there as by then doing less active jobs. Swept up all of the de-icing grit hope it's not needed any more! Grass & beds by the house at the back still frozen hard, elsewhere warming up nicely.
Had to water a lot of pots at the front, the wind had dried them out such a lot - hope they'll be ok overnight.

Beautiful, glorious sunshine all day but chilly.

Glorious sunshine today in the North West. The sky clouded over a couple of times this morning and it looked like rain but has stayed dry all day.
Painted the back fence and if it stays fine tomorrow will paint the trellis, I ran out of wood preserve, so it's a trip down to B & Q first thing.
Some of my seedlings are beginning to grow true leaves although you might need a magnifying glass to see them
Beautiful day yesterday even managed to work in a t shirt, cant remember where i discarded the fleece. Today its quite bright but very cold. AGAIN
Bloody freezing. Apologies for swearing.
Stockton the first signs of spring now at last we can get started.

It was zero degrees when I went to work this morning at half 8.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Another sunny day and not a rain cloud in sight here in the NW.
B & Q had a sale, 3 for 2 in the paint section, so saved over £15 on wood preserve and paint for the sheds, one happy bunny
.
On such a nice day, didn't feel much like painting though so had a general tidy round and did some potting up.
Oh no, snow again this morning brrrr
