Have a lovely day on Sunday Frank. You will probably forget you have a pink tie on.
Will do Bev, I have been ordered to, Girls are made off sugar and spice and all things nice? they forgot to mention the steel frame, iron will, the solid brick wall that goes up when they will not take no for an answer, we just obey, but a PINK tie is pushing it.
Stockton dull start now lovely sunshine and warm, double figures in the greenhouse which is full to bursting, we can still have frosts in this neck of the woods so some comes out and back in at night.
I need new stakes for the Tomato's and today, they are flying up having side shooted them twice already, Ailsa Craig this year the tomato I grew up with and still think the best tasting one, a few Shirley and tumblers as well of course.
From North Cornwall. A Brillant week so far. Lots of sunshine. Busy planting out broad beans that were started in the greenhouse. A colourful display of assorted tulips in pots. Spring as arrived at last.
It's been a gorgeous 34 C for the past week or so, my flowers and plants are super happy but my begonias (newly planted from corm) are wilting a bit, awwww
In about February/March when everybody here was complaining about the snow I kept saying "None here, yet. We'll probably get the lambing snow in late April/early May when the hill sheep lamb."
Well, on the hills has come the snow & Ben Wyvis (about 3,400 ft) which we see from the back of the house had lost almost all of it's winter snow - now it's white again!
Last night I went out, we were roughly at sea level, the temp went down to 1c & it was sleeting!! The lambs didn't look too chuffed either.
It's about 8c now & cloudy with the odd light shower, but a cold wind. At this rate I'll be hardening things off still in August......
after a great thursday hot n sunny all day north manchester is cloudy chilly broken sunshine. to cold to sit outside . sunday lunch in the summer house looks like .
It warmed up later to about 10c but still showery so stayed in & put up pictures - been in the house 3 years in Sept & only put up a few. The walls are now well & truly festooned (and himself didn't even bash his thumb ).
