from Sacha contains these words:

We've been reading of the pretty nasty temperatures in Scotland and I'm
wondering how gardeners there are coping? I'm sure Janet on her Isle of
Arran will tell us that she's basking in the sunshine and went swimming this
morning but hope others aren't too wrecked by the weather? ;-)

She might be needing her gamp before the morn's morn.

It's manky here but no rain. Yesterday, I went on the dog-walk wearing
trainers instead of my usual sturdy wellies. I didn't get muddy at all.
Today will be a different story. We now have at least three woodpeckers
hammering away but I have only been fortunate enough to see one of them
and binoculars haven't helped. (Felt rather self-conscious with
binoculars - a bit like a peeping Tom).

PS How's the troll in the netty doing? Are you feeding it?
