Stockton we now have frozen snow with a slight rise in temperature 2C threatening more snow, fairly normal for this area this time of year. I shall delay the naked run around the garden singing the "Flowers that bloom in the spring" for a while.
Went to Allotment yesterday & as suspected both the Brassica and the fruit cage were looking a bit drunk but still standing. Not really surprising our site suffers with the wind at the best of times let alone a wild night like that one was. What does surprise me is the amount of wind resistance from open netting that means I have to re-set the fruit cage most years. The Brassicas get moved anyway as part of crop rotation.
Stockton, More snow, Roads like ice rinks and more snow on the way, Winter sports anyone? I hope the family when they arrive do not brake suddenly, I am on a hill they will go flying past and park IN the wrong house at the bottom, it is on a bend and looks like a target from here.
Cold, dry , sunny sky from 9 am to 3pm, about minus 7C and blowing a hooly at the moment. We sailed through the Arctic circle, this morning, about 7pm. I didn't get up as we were up late watching the Northern Lights. The thermal undies from M&S I stocked up on last week (half price) appear to be doing the job. I like this scandi idea of a duvet each. No fighting over it in the middle of the night.
We are hoping for more Northern lights tonight, and dog sledding tomorrow. We arrive in Tromso tomorrow.
Pickled herring for starter tonight
I might give that a miss and go straight on to the beef rib instead.

Same here scroggin - certainly not gardening weather, although we mustn't forget the birds - they still need extra food in this winter weather.
