Damp and overcast at the moment but not cold. Our weather thing says light rain, that will do for me, we could do with it, very dry down here in Lincolnshire.
I haven't seem any House Martins or Swallows for a couple of days, I think they have finally gone.
I love to see the geese and hear them as they fly over, as you say Frank a wonderful sight.
Big change in the weather cloudy, grey and no sun and its cold. Where did the summer go? Rain is forecast but no idea when it will arrive. A big thankyou to my neighbours who lit a bonfire whilst my eashing was still out as if i need more washing. Couldnt hang it out yesterday because the fire was still smoking.
Truly Awful at the moment; raining hard. Dashed out to gather in some cherry tomatores and dashed in again. Loads to do in the garden; hoping for a dryer Saturday.
No prizes for guessing the weather in Manchester this morning!
I too have nipped down to the greenhouse to pick some tomatoes & do some watering. The butt off the shed roof is overflowing! Oh well soon be time to empty it for the winter.
Refilled the bird feeder & checked, yes the lawn is 'squishy', so tha'll need a good couple of dry days before it gets its' final cut.
On a positive note- not too cold at night yet & my pricked out seedlings in the coldframe are looking very happy. J.
Not too bad in Cornwall. No rain for the last week so watering baskets and tubs to keep them going as long as possible. Autumn equinox tomorrow.
There are still a few swallows around. This years babies. They have shorter tail feathers. Their parents leave before them. how do the young ones know the way.
Frank you should write a book. You have such a way with words and an interesting life.
Pam life is what you make of it, you can sit and watch it pass you or climb aboard and ride the wild ride, I was lucky in that Joan was exactly the same, get off the tourist route and explore, that is what makes life interesting. Morning in Tospots, a call down into the village for a fresh chicken, sort Pam's mail and put the heating on, now eating my bully beef sandwich with Alfy licking his lips, he will get the last bite though the mustard may throw him. Sunshine all the way now some dark patches of cloud but also blue sky, the box still says heavy rain.
Quite a nice day here albeit on the chilly side, sun trying it's hardest to get through the clouds but won't hold my breath, when I took the dog out last thing last night there was a poor little Hedgehog in the gutter that had been run over so this morning I went out armed with shovel and brush and a couple of carriers and removed it not nice for me but even worse for the school children that had to pass it on the way to school, poor little thing it looked like a youngster as well.
It turned out nice this side Rain we had a blue sky this afternoon but it did look a bit bunched up over you. I saw Hedgehog droppings on the side lawn today so mine must be back, we see quite a few killed on the back road. Had two hours of Tom Jones on Beeb 9 after GW and not a pair of undies in sight.
Stockton sunny and clear so I looked at the box with trepidation and found "Sunny and Clear" am now having a cup of tea to recover. I suppose even they must get it right now and then, they are probably belting round the office with fizzy Champagne bottles screaming BINGO.

My daughter is spending her 30th birthday at Alton Towers -oh to be young ! I hope the weather is better there.
I agree with jo4eyes it is not too cold at night yet, my peas are producing nicely in a tub just outside the back door.
Enjoy the weekend everyone. P
