Still no frost!

a bit murky though!

I have some geranium cuttings / plants in the greenhouse so the old ones
(which are very old) can suffer...

Best wishes,

Keith

-2C here last night. Mercifully there's no wind but my goodness, it's
cold!
Frost is still lying in one or two parts of the garden which haven't
felt
the sun of a glorious winter's day. Tonight, the temperature is falling
like a stone and after a trip to the chiropractor for both of us, the
cold
almost undid all the good he'd done to our creaky spines.
Yesterday morning, Ray looked out of our bedroom window at about 7.30am
and
exclaimed at the extraordinary sight of what looked like a bright red
light
shining some distance away. It was almost fluorescent. It was only after
a
few moments observation that we realised it was the sun. We've never
seen
anything quite like it and in mediaeval times, I think it would have
been
a
portent, though of what, I don't know. When I did the well worn "red
sky
in
the morning..." Ray chipped in with "shepherd's cottage on fire"! Last
week
we woke up to a sunrise that was pink right across the sky, looking
exactly
like a sunset. The times they are a-changing!

Well it looks like we might even get a touch of frost as well tonight...

'dashed inconvenient' as we still have geranium / pelars' in flower on
the
patio - and the rhubarb has started to come up (outside uncovered)!

I'd take them all in or cover them with fleece or newspaper. Touch of
frost, indeed. Pah! ;-)
