Looked out over our field this morning and thought "Ground frost", but after kicking myself awake, told myself that it was just heavy dew. Now when I go out to let the new chicks out I find that it is frost on the grass. We are only a mile from the sea and I doubt if frost has been seen here on 16 June in many a long year.

Serves me right I suppose. For the last few days everyone I've met in the village has complained "Ew, mae'n oer, tydi?" (Isn't it cold?), and I have always replied "Not if you spend a couple of hours working before breakfast."

I doubt if anything has suffered, but I'm off for a look.

It's been a funny old year this year.

Hope the frost hasn't caught anything Alan.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

I saw the weather forecast yesterday and it did mention some frost. Our weather station only went down to 4.5 last night. Hope you've not lost anything.

Hasn't it been a cold start to the summer? - just like last year - things sitting rather than romping away. We need some real heat and some light rain - not these storms with wind.

I've been running the central heating for an hour each evening recently as I'm fed up with being so cold whilst cooking dinner :roll:

Hi Chantal. We are the same I am sitting in the kitchen on the lap top and I am frozen. It says it is 15 degrees outside and 19.3 inside thats 60f and 66f but I am really cold. I have just been out into the garden to peg some white foxgloves up because the weather is so breezy that they are being knocked flat. But at least we have had some rain.
