The weather forecast for Scotland mentioned a possible frost tonight,
and I'm pretty sure there will be one here (Isle of Arran). The sky is
clear, no wind, chilly temperature is dropping like a stone, and I
planted out a load of lettuces yeaterday 8-(. Have just been out and
covered them with fleece.

(We woke up to snow on the mountain top this am. I have a nasty
feeling that warm spell a few days back was summer).

Janet.

Those few warm days were next year's spring and you are currently
experiencing a correction to last year's Autumn which never happened.

The message
from "Rupert \(W.Yorkshire\)" contains these words:

Glad to hear you're in the know, Rupert..could you reveal when
"Summer, 2006", is likely to flash past the window, please?

Had a word with Mother Shipton-but no joy.

Didn't quite get a frost last night btw; the lettuces and potatoes
survived unscathed but some mimulus are all looking very saggy and
dejected .

I had a look at frost forecast early hours this morning and all was well
with your part of the World.
That fleece trick certainly seems to work:-)
Janet.
