OH, it was your snow pictures on 7 that stretched it - I think they need to be resized to 640xwhatever. I do it in Photoshop but I think there is a way without fancy software - someone might enlighten us.

Morning Smallweed, we have the same weather as you, i just took a pan of fire ashes out and ended up wearing nearly all of them.

I think they are on about it brightening before more heavy rain later.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Good morning OH,I do hope you were going to put those ashes somewhere dry ready to go onto your allotment field I bet you looked good as a chimney sweep :lol:

Yesterday we had thick frost in the morning and so I was able to get to the allotment to get a bit of work done which was nice but once it started getting too wet after the frost melted on the paths I headed for home. :)

I can never understand this country's weather and we seem to be the only ones that can have every type of weather in one day :roll:

Hope you have a good day in all that you do :)

Morning OH

1 - Wide photos. All you need to do, since you are in Photobucket, is click "Edit images" at the top of the main screen and take it from there.

2 - Is OC's male bird in action this morning?

3 - We had your weather earlier and didn't like it, so we sent it southeastward. Sorry :( Fine, calm and warm now :)

Thankyou Alan.

All is quite over the allotment this morning, although i haven't actually ventured over. :)
I bet Old Codger can't wait to look in the nest boxes to check for eggs.

We look forward to your brighter weather arriving. :)
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

OC - Its quite exciting I bet, new chucks...

Make sure OH doesn't get in there and steal or trick you before you get to them!! I can just see him planting a rubber egg or two for you to find :wink:

I too would love to see some piccies of your new arrivals (and the beautifully built coup of course!).

We are due some very cold weather here again this w/e.

Dear Garden_serf, i do have a dozen really old china eggs that i could swop.
I can just imagine Old Coger sitting down to his two boiled eggs trying to cut the tops off them. :) :wink:
