Keep Cosy All

We got it a lot colder today Kath. I've been running round with pieces of hessian, a large wad of fleece and a sackful of straw to see if there is anything I have missed. Very unusual this early. Even the babbie sarras have gone into the g.house 1 month early.

It was OK working outside today, digging manure and compost into the area where my sweet peas will go in the spring - but I have lit the logburner this evening!

Keep wrapped up, Scotkat!

I will Sprtizhendry an d got my cosy hats and neck cosies to keep warm .

I still need to get my sweet pea seeds have not got them yet.

Awww Scotkat, snow already... thats depressing, probably wont be long before it comes down to us..

I've just seen the forecast and I am off out with my torch and my 'cloches' to cover up my new Coprosma and suchlike!

bitter cold here this evening, risk of wintry showers tonight according to the forecast

A beautiufull fresh cold morning yes frost but no snow but very cold.

Just got 2 more gardens to get finished for the season.

We got frost as well Kath. I took Ed for his morning walk and when I came out into the garden thought to myself 'Self. The forecast was wrong. No frost.' But I was half asleep and forgot that the micro-climate of most of my garden is several degrees warmer than the surrounding area in summer and at least one degree in winter. George my hard-landscaping friend sure knows his stuff. When I got up Oliver's Mount there were pockets of frost in sheltered spots. Oh dear.

John.

Yes Oh Dear jack frost certainly has arrived never mind my Neck Cosies and crochet hats really do keep me cosy pie.

Very icy cold here

That's it. I'm moving to the Med. About 1 p.m. we had a hail shower. Only lasted about 5 minutes. Hail in October? I blame it on the economic downturn.

Its absuletley icy freezin cold here now and snow clouds out

Hail and torrential rain 5 miles away from here, but we have a little protection from the hills, so it hasn't quite reached us (thank goodness!)

Snow flurries now its just so cold.

Been away to Sussex for a few days, back in Surrey, lovely warm sunshine all day. Just beginning to cloud up and turn chilly, it's 4pm. or is it 5pm. my clocks haven't made their mind up yet.

my dahlias looked lovely when i went to bed last night they were black when i woke up!!cut down what i could and covered them with compost
