Morning and a Happy New year everyone

A wet and windy start to the year here no damage just a trailer cover blew of then the usual branches/twigs everywhere.

enjoy your day

Not much wind here, but lots of rain. It has been pouring all night. I know because I was awake from 3.30 am onwards.

There's nothing I particularly want from the sales, so I'll avoid the crowds.

What I do want however, for a birthday present next week is a Morello cherry tree on a dwarf rootstock. If anybody has bought one and can recommend a supplier please let me know. I used to have a Morello cherry but even though I pruned it madly it grew enormously each year.

Good evening all.
It was a cold but dry day...Spent some of it in the garden.
Took all the dead leaves off the containers of geraniums in the greenhouse.
Got the fleece from the shed and covered them all for the upcoming cold snap.
Hopefully it want last too long.
Have a good evening all.

Heavy rain overnight but it’s stopped now.
The gardens certainly need a bit of a clear up, but I’ve a lot of eggs needing using up, so it may well end up a baking day if it’s too chill to garden. There was a bitter wind yesterday so we’ll see.

Enjoy your day whatever you get up to …and pass on that smile if you have a chance x

Morning all.

It was really foggy yesterday for most of our drive and such a shock to emerge into the blue skies closer to the coast. Lovely. Looks like we brought the weather back with us, as it's clear here so far today. There have been winters where nearly every day has been thick fog. Really hoping this isn't another like that.

So, back to work for me today. Another public holiday on 6 Jan, so I'm let in gently. Missie won't be sorry that I'm tied to the keyboard more. She's taken up occupation in one of her two favourite daytime spots: her bottom resting on my wrist pad, her body stretched up my left arm and her head on my shoulder. Her other favourite position is stretched up my other arm, not quite perching on my shoulder but high enough that she can chew my hair at the back.

Because I was up early today and because it's nice and sunny, the smiles shot off this morning at such a lick they'll probably have time for more than one round today.

Have a great day, everyone.

Good Morning All Frosty here. Grory Hop as usual. We didn't need much, so to get it over the free deliver price I've 're-stocked my baking station. Have a good day

Morning all.

Clear, sunny and frosty here, the black ice sort of frost you can't really see. The smiles swooped by earlier, Snoop, so they probably are going around again, celebrating the extra 3 minutes of daylight we get today, I expect.

I'm happy today, because not having put up Christmas decorations, I don't have to think about taking them all down and stowing them away, not ever my favourite job after Christmas. Instead, I have a clear week, nothing planned, nothing urgent to do. Bliss.

Morning

Cold but very sunny here today, so a good day to wrap up warm and be out and about.
A Grory hop at some point just need to sort out the menu and list.

enjoy your day
