Nice and bright here too, P.J, just been picking veg for the harvest festival, but come back to warm my hands for a minute.

Not sure what has happened, but there doesn't seem much to send this year.

Been there done that...

Including some 1998 Radio Pea seed......which I'm told that the Vicars dog ate some of..

Nice pictures Clive, there's just something about Harvest Festivals, i can't put my finger on what it is but, it just gives me one of nice feelings.

No new posts for me to read this morning.

I had a good afternoon yesterday and managed to get about an acre and a half of lawns cut, i'm getting there.

Morning OH

Glad you got the mowing done yesterday. I fear that this is another of those days when we send our rain eastwards. Just stopping here now and promising a sunny day, heading your way (and almost everyone else's way judging by the forecast.

At least it will be dry at the Harvest Festival - assuming everyone gave generously to the last church roof fund

God morning Alan,

It's very nice of you to send your unwanted rain this way, but really you know, we've had quite enough for the time being

At the moment it is nice and clear here, although a bit windy.

Morning PJ

Make the best of this morning - we're trying to get the rain to you by lunchtime

Wet here aready, and yes we will be dry in the Church, as i do the roof repairs, so no need for a roof fund.

My poor old weathervave doesn't know which way to point, what is always a sure sign of fobidding weather.

The Harvest Festival at work was last Sunday...but I left the display in situ for the last regular garden open days of the year this week..and may leave it in for the last open day of the year next Sunday..it will need reviving in places for that though.

Today we are hoping to attend the LOGO Apple Day at Wragby....I'm going clutching 3 varieties of Apples for the identification folk. We have a notion what varieties they may be...one from a previous ident' day and another from a 1944 plan and a choice of 2 tree tags...and the third I await ideas....

Clive.

Geoff - Are you sure they are cones on your pine tree? Looks to me as if you've decorated it early for Christmas with all your surplus carrot crops

OH

Every parish needs a good and faithful servant like you

I bet there are a few in the village, who wish i would slip while replacing a tile.

I think now the weather has turned the birds are getting the message that leaner times are on the way. I've just counted about 14 blue tits hovering around our three peanut cages. They all seem to be whizzing around the garden in small flocks like the Red Arrows - suspect they may be late hatched broods who are still in their litttle family groups. Are blue tits flock birds? I often seen groups of them together.

Hi Alan,

May I congratulate you on your accuracy
It is now chucking it down

P.J, it's not just bad weather Alan sends us, i'm sure i remember a sunny day he sent us three years ago.
