Morning all.

Happy New Year to you too, CG. Lovely to see you again. Have you got bulbs popping up in your containers yet?

unfortunately with all the rain I didn't get them in. I have some popping out of the ground but have some still to go in, might just throw a load in

Morning

A dry sunny day here today according to the forecasts I'm planning on doing some gardening, laundry and a stroll over to the shops.

Enjoy your day

Morning all.

Beautiful blue sky and sun, and not a breath of wind, just like an early spring day. A pair of robins are fighting in the garden and and posing their red breasts at each other. They must think it's spring too. Makes me itch to sow seeds, but too early for me yet.

Good Morning All Dry and sunny here too. Were going to the wedding venue this morning and then lunch in Derbyshire. Have a good day

Morning all.

Just seen some shocking footage of wind damage in Ireland and northern UK on the Beeb. People sharing heartbreaking footage of their allotments on Facebook as well. I saw the UK weather forecast on the Beeb as well. Hold onto your hats, guys. Might not be as bad as Éowyn, but it doesn't look great. All we've got coming up is a week of clouds, drizzle and a stiff breeze by your standards.

Might as well bung the bulbs in, CG. Better in than out, I imagine.

Sounds like you've got a lovely day ahead, Flo. Hope it all goes well.

As for me, I'm in recovery today. Been working like mad on one of the most annoying jobs I've ever done. Finished it late last night. Phew. Going to have the day off and settle to some listening to music and a bit of baking. And a long fuss with the cat and a decent walk with the dog if the drizzle holds off. One proper task: get firewood in.

Have a great day, everyone.

[burnie]

Still quite windy up here and forecast another storm and snow for tomorrow, I was planning on going to collect seed potatoes, they might have to wait. Had a wander round the village, apart from a few battered fences and one slipped roof tile, we look to have escaped the worst of it.

Good afternoon.

I've just zapped some pastry ready for making another Paradise Slice later this afternoon.

The weather is calm and sunny this afternoon.... but feels very cold.

[bramble]

Good afternoon all. Bright and sunny but cold.
Another storm, Hermenia, forecast for over the weekend. Supposedly not as dangerous, we will wait and see.
Enjoy your day out Flo.
Snoop, you deserve a day off.

Evening n’alln’all
Just got my access back to the internet!
Lovely to be able to check in again….I missed you all
Where we were staying wasn’t very far from the red alert area but flippin ‘eck it’s been windy
Travelling to Yorkshire though today was lovely and sunny. Certainly some warmth in the sun to bring on Spring bulbs - so long as they were protected from the subarctic winds…brrrrr.

Tis Burns Night today so we’re having haggis - yummy yum- not had any for literally years.

I’ll try and catch up over the next few days but wanted to pop in to say hi.
Keep safe and warm peeps

[Jay22]

Evening, after some snow this morning it turned out a lovely afternoon.
We too are having our haggis, neeps and tatties tonight with a little whisky sauce…yuuummmmy!
Enjoy your evening folks.

[Containergardener]

Day turned out lovely but cold. Managed to get most of the bulbs in, lots needs done but was nice to be out there. Even had a cuppa sat outside.
Tired now though.

[Bren In Pots]
