This recent calm spell of very mild November weather looks like it is
going to cause some trouble. I noticed yesterday we still have roses out
and geraniums in good flower again (although showing some frost damage).
But the most amazing thing is that the blackcurrants are coming back
into leaf! This spells doom for them if the icy winter blast
materialises on Friday as the weathermen predict.

There are still a few oak trees with most of their leaves (yellow) on.
Again a decent winter storm will see them off too.
