Here we are into November, and still I have flies buzzing round
strongly inside the house and wasps doing the flower rounds in the
garden....... (I plan to keep recording this as warm weather persists
into late autumn/winter, year after year, and insect activity remains
strong :)


Yes, isn't it weird? Huge bluebottle on my window only yesterday, and I
still have a very good display of roses (Staffordshire) that I am reluctant
to cut back yet.

I remember "when I wuz a girl" (.... being 40 yrs ago...!!!) we were often
into quite hard frosts on Bonfire Night, certainly many mornings. It was
"into the liberty bodice" for the next 4 months or so! (God, does anyone
else remember those things???) I've definitely noticed a considerable
difference in the winter weather.

Well..... they did promise us very wet summers and warm winters!
