Reversing into my difficult shaped drive in a sharp hail storm! No more bumps on the car - no space for them really, what with those which are already there. Very cold now, very gusty & windy but plenty of sunshine just for now - dark clouds building again - really autumnal - any sign of Indian Summer well over. Glad I've got all the bulbs in, bar the tulips and most of those will go into pots in a month or so. Few pelargoniums to pot up, most tender things under cover now.
Slept like a log unaware of the wind which very kindly swept the leaves into the borders. Surrey- nice and sunny most of the day just a few gusts of wind handy for the washing.
Worcester was very windy with alternating grey/blue skies. Got home in the dark so dont know what's happened re the garden. Hubby says it has been very windy with very heavy showers.
very windy in London first thing - pots all flew off the neighbours' windowsills upstairs and smashed on my patio. Streets are strewn with leaves. Quite windy all day, but very sunny and warm at times. Around 5pm, sky went black, howling gale started and the temperature has plummeted - really quite cold now
Breezy in the Chilterns, with a few short heavy gusts, but mainly lovely blue skies, with a couple of very brief heavy showers in the area, but no rain on the hill where I live - very strange!
We obviously missed the worst of the promised storm, and I spent the last hour of daylight up the allotment doing a bit of digging.
Still strange as I 'm probably no more than 30 miles from Ginglygangly - at 5pm I was off to the allotment in glorious sun!
"Ginglygangly" Pauline is the posters name on here not a place, probably chosen because the Forum kept refusing every name she tried as with me above. After trying a dozen times and being told it was already taken I was looking at some old photo's one showing me doing the Palais Glide in Port Said, in it went and accepted. Problem, now all the posters think I am a dance expert??
See what I mean Verdun, an expert in my book is two pages further into the manual than you are?
Weather news, bright sunny morning on Teesside although some lingering cloud to the west, we could get it yet. E-mail from Daughter in Greece, cold wet and windy, told her to save her money and crash out in her garden.

Take care all of you who must be outside in this.

Very very windy here in Sussex too. Pouring with rain and a few claps of thunder

Will probably suffer tomorrow!
Pansyface, so sorry you lost your Pear tree.
Here in the Fens, a most beautiful morning and not too cold (though I shall be pleased when my new boiler is installed)
