Loads on the way, but no sign of redness yet. I'm looking after my neighbour's garden at the moment and there were 6 nice red ones a few days ago. It would have been rude to leave them there :)

Cheers, PJ.

Good morning all,

Very calm here this morning. No wind at all for a change. Still some cloud about, but no rain. Certainly a bit different to the last couple of days. Even the dog wouldn't go out in the garden last night. He must of been bursting by this morning :)

Cheers, PJ.

It's been quite calm here today, but there is a strong easterly wind forecast for tomorrow and more rain. Hopefully they will be wrong about the wind.

Hi All, Rained all night, but stopped about 8 this morning. Still some cloud about, but mainly blue skies again. The wind has dropped right down as well. The good news with the rain is, I have found out one of my sheds has a leak in the roof . Another job to add to the ever growing list. OH, what ti...

I leave them at the end of the season for the birds. I love watching the greenfinches tear them to pieces. Cheers,...
