Have read this morning on the Daily Mail Online (and therefore it must be true) that the Met office are now saying global warming doesn't exist, or something. Well call me cynical but I always doubted it anyway. It seems there have always been temperature fluctuations over time.
As for the snow, BBC weather site says there won't be any and the other site says there will. So am none the wiser!
Inka, glad you enjoyed Downton! And I hope the road gets mended soon - doesn't sound fun trying to negotiate that with shopping.
Dove, nothing wrong in selling the story if it helps them recoup some of what they've lost.
Not a lot planned today, just a bit of shopping, just the essentials, and OH finishing the decorating. Can't wait to get sorted out and back to normal.
We usually get frost, snow in various amounts in January, it's how it should be in winter. The media always treat it as something out of the ordinary.
Amazingly not stiff or achey after exertions yesterday. Just walked around 'estate' and nothings died overnight!
Pleased I planted garlic before the cold weather hits. Was a frost late last night when I took dog for a widdle but not sign of it (frost) this morning. Just murky.
Why so may weather stories. IT is January, we should have snow in January/February! Heavy snow and blizzards - now that would be a story!
No gardening planned for today, May plant onion seeds later - I have a heated propagator
So long as there's enough snow to stop me going to work - and not just a pathetic little bit thats barely enough for a snowball, but enough to cause traffic chaos!
And yes you're right Bjay - we've had snow the last 3 winters so what's the big deal?
This is the vital point -there has got to be enough to make a journey unsafe for our working mates-shall be praying for supreme intervention for you Lottie
Chris -how much longer is the decorating going to take?
Geoff. The decorating should be finished today, yippee, It's not a very big room but it's awkward when you have to keep shifting furniture..
Then in early February we are going to do our bedroom, oh joy. Having a break in between, and we are going away for 3 days to Stratford upon Avon. Might even take in a bit of culture and visit the Royal Shakespeare Theatre depending on the production.
Like to get the boring jobs done in the winter so that when spring eventually arrives we are ready to get on with the garden
... we are going away for 3 days to Stratford upon Avon....
Very nice. I've been there often. Several interesting gardens, at each of the 5 Shakespeare properties. Probably not that impressive at this time of year, though they do try to keep the gardens presentable, for the tourists. They also have special celebrations on the weekend nearest April 23rd (Will's birthday), which is later than when you're visiting.
Hi Lyon, sorry I've lost track of everyones names We usually go to Hidcote when we are in that part of the country, but it will be closed when we visit. Thanks for the suggestion of the gardens in Stratford, there is often quite a lot of interest from trees, shrubs etc at this time. Will just play it by ear and do what we can depending on the weather We will also be visiting the neighbouring towns, Warwick, Leamington and Kenilworth, so there will be plenty to keep us occupied.

Becks, I like your optimism, and your mini BBQ!
