Reply to Tootles: 'Cat ice'* is really thin stuff that you get on very shallow puddles, dampish mud and suchlike. It'll bear the tentative weight of a cat, but nothing heavier....!!
*A West Midlands term, maybe there's a different phraseology in NE Midlands (Notts)??
Never heard of it me duck! (what's the West Midlands version of 'me duck'?). Love it though! I'll be throwing it in to conversation at work (down south, where phrases are few and far between in the West End....other than the odd 'sweetie darling').

Freezing fog and ice here in Norfolk this morning. Temp in back garden down to 0C but much lower in front garden.
I've just heard from son that it's 4C and dry and fine down in Suffolk
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
It was white and crispy here in Essex at 11.00 pm and getting misty, but got up this morning to cloudy and milder.
Hello , really good frost hear in Lincolnshire , still popping to the allottment thou , change of jobs as the soil could be frozen ?

Freezing when I retired at 11.30pm, wet when I arose at 6.30am. And a grey day ahead by the look of things.
Good frost and freezing fog , cleared about 12-00 as I went up to the allottment
Soil still soft , turned out to be a nice day , gets dark so quickly left just before 4-00

Edd love the picture
Tootles , " alright ou kid "
Edd: Love the 'Action Cat' pic - caught at the critical moment [Ansell Adams].
Tootles: "Luv" will get you a long way, if in doubt about likely reception, try "Alright, mate?" or perhaps "Wotcha, Ar Kyd. Owyerduin?"
