Its seems that it is not just KG magazine that has visited us at work....
http://www.twenty-6.co.uk/issue-d/fashion/dark-romanceI did wonder whose footmarks they were in the front garden yellow Rose bed....and why one of the bits of wood that I use as walking boards in the kitchen garden had moved to in front of the Quarendon Apple tree in the Orchard....now all is clear
High heels tend to sink in Orchard grass...
Might have needed a few more clothes on if filmed today.....
....although I did take my woolly hat off at one stage whilst winter digging today.

It has been so mild that my spuds are starting to sprout (they are kept in paper sacks in the garage) and the few remaining onions also.

But surely OH the briefest of glimpses is sufficient for you to identify your good lady wife, President of Milton Bryan WI and Convenor of the Worshipful Guild of Vegetable Burners?

Just about reached the point where it doesn't get darker any earlier in the afternoon
Pity about the darker and darker mornings

I am fascinated to know the science behind the days shortening, why it is measured more in the mornings than the afternoons up until the 21st ?

I think that is more to do with our fiddling with times than science.

I thought it was because they hadn't got a long enough measuring thingy.
