Had to get the fleecy jacket out this morning. 5 degrees. Soon warmed up though. Sunny and windy. Lovely. Definitely autumn now.
Walkers going up the road with plastic bags in their hands looking for brambles. Didn't have the heart to tell them Mr. Gregory from down the hill got them all last week, as usual,
It's been a moody day today in Lancashire. Put a jacket on for the first time. Dark clouds and some rain. A bit windy. Leaves starting to fall from sambucus and some turning a coppery red - beautiful indicator of seasons. No change yet to flowering cherry tree. Late planted sunflowers (reduced at B & Q) just coming out and will be drenced with rain.
East Anglia: Damp and dull earlier, became brighter until 4ish when the the rain started - just after I got out to cut my hedge with electric hedge trimmer - not good idea to carry on!
East Anglia: blue sky earlier, Got washing out. Collected half and left half - which got soaked in a downpour which crept up on me all surreptitious like!
It has stopped raining at last in Essex but it looks as if it might start again at any moment. The pond is full from all the rain and the hose attached to the water butt for extra oomph to hopefully wash the duck weed over the edge!
.However, I have found a crack at the bottom of one of my other water butts...it would be the bottom wouldn't it! I'll have to tackle that when everything has dried out and that won't be today.
Nice day in the Chilterns. Yesterday's rain has made the soil just right for digging, so I spent a couple of hours at the allotment, and came back with loads of Desiree pototates,carrots; and swedes and parsnips for tomorrows roast. Also a small Primo cabbage, and a few more runner beans - if the weather is as bad as forecast, at least we have dinner lined up!

It's been a wet weekend here in the NW but got loads done in the garden yesterday in between showers.
Cleared all but two of the tom plants in the GH, they weren't going to produce much more as the temps drop, night draw in and mornings become colder.
Picked the last of the cues. Still have high hopes for the chillies and peppers, the plants have lots of fruit on but most still green.

Was supposed to rain today in East Mids but never arrived in our area, not a bad day, a little sun and some cloud but quite warm.
