Bev, Pergoniums should have one third of the top growth cut back to over winter although I also remove any old stems and leaves. Fuchsia should be left until March when a light trim is all they need but clean out any loose or broken stems and leaves. Keep in the light in the greenhouse and they need to be just damp but not dry, overwatering will kill them. You may have flowers on both at Christmas I often do.
Lovely warm sunny morning in Brixham, then in afternoon was up on Dartmoor, near the prison, and the clouds rolled in, and the drizzle started, it got colder - it must be me...every time I go on the Moor the weather changes for the worst!
Stockton started sunny with blue sky although it was cloudy to the south. We then got rain more sun and ended up with clear sky and it looked very bright over Rain's Hills.
Unless the wind dies down a bit I shant go down to greenhouse today! The polycarbonate roof panels can flip out & I dont want to be underneath that! Sowing sweetpeas can wait a couple of days!
Very wet & windy here in WManchester this morning. Daughter flying over to IOM about now- not my idea of fun in this wind. They are/were delayed a bit apprently.
This time last year the gales were sooo bad that my flight over was cancelled! That isnt what they said was the cause, but must've been. So the plane I did go on was bigger, full & so didnt bounce around as much- phew! J.
A while back the box said light rain, watching the teeming water run down the road I would not like any heavy rain. Now it says Stockton cloudy so with the sun blasting through the window I look out and sure enough it is cloudy apart from the blue patch overhead. It looks very murky your side of the Styx Rain. Must go out but will stay well clear of yon yorkshire bit.
Cold wind today, very blustery, but at the moment fine. The sky looks as though we are in for a shower or two. Need a couple of woollies on to go outside.Brrr.
We have sunshine at the mo but more rain is on the way. Oh good. Hope to go into town tomorrow to do maybe a bit more C............ shopping. I know back in the naughty corner for me. Hope you are all well

Sun & rain all day here in WManchester. Not particularly cold, but was out for lunch with friend so no gardening today.
Come rain or shine shall get outside, or in greenhouse probably, tomorrow after shopping delivery. J.
It's been dry and very cold, but grey skies in Suffolk.
Started off dry but got wetter as the day wore on. Lovely picture Bev, my garden isn't looking as lush as it did last month and not much in flower.
