The weather here is a four-letter word, take your pick! Removed the plastic bags that covered my dahlias and the fleece from raised bed (they predicted frost last night but warmer today 6°) and what happened half an hour later, it hailed! Luckily only small pea sized:
Kent had a chilly start but the sun managed to make an appearance by the afternoon and the wind even warmed up a bit. I do believe it turned into a marvellous day
Stockton today another warm sunny day until now, cooling down a bit and wind getting up although a very good weekend all round. Did not get much done in the garden today, daughter brought the wedding DVD's so we watched them then cut a load of extra discs on my laptop. The old machine did the job well so I am asking myself why buy a new one?
Over the weekend we had two days of sunshine, so planned to plant out courgettes and squash today but it's rained all day. Beginning to think this is not going to be a good year for growing veg.
Sunny and windy (listen... Oh no it's dropped... No there it is again).
Quite balmy at times, and when the wind drops it's quite hot again. Washing dried really quickly, and the frogs have been searching out the shady bits of the water feature.
We have three frogs. How did that happen? Well, I do know... But how did they get into our tiny water feature, miles from any other stretch of water? Amazingly their names are Bob, Trevor and Gloria. ( I had no idea they had names but my grandchildren told me this today!!!) I tried to photograph them (the frogs) but the result at first just shows the rocks in the pool... Then suddenly he's there. This one's Bob.

Cold and wet. Poured in night, woke me up.
Stockton is Sunny and warm, clear blue sky. The bedding was stripped washed and on the line drying early, take advantage is my motto.
