Well, I don't know what it went down to last night but it's quite a
white morning here, just looking out of the window at 7am!

White from frost here as as well. Over night air temperature low of
-5C. I must try and rig up a grass thermometer.

Our first frost of the year here - and no doubt about it. The ponds are
frozen.

I cut down and dug up the roots of my runners this afternoon and brought
them in - must get some sand...

All the potted pelargoniums (pelargonia?) and fuschias have been brought
in to the - well, what the (realistic) estate agent called a porch, but
the previous inhabitant's son (who built it) called a conservatory.

The porchatory was put on before next-door built behind it the extension
to their cottage, which releases, when I get the right-shaped tuits,
some useful glass which is not so quite useful where it is now. (Though
it makes a fine draught-excluder.)

Also brought in are the lemon trees, two in the con - er - porch, one in
the front room window, one in the study window and one in the attic room
window. The chilli plants are in too, to keep them from the chill, and
the avocado - but in the not too distant future that will have to take
its chance outside. The date palm has not performed well this year, and
it's one remaining leaf remains the same size as when I put it out in
the spring. The self-sown violas in the pot have done well, though.
