Spent the last three days indoors cooking and freezing. Today I planned
a day in the garden, tough, the rain here in North Staffordshire has
turned to heavy snow! Can't hear the sleigh bells though!

We've had our first slightly feeble attempt at sleet here.

I am taking a weeks holiday and so far have spent three glorious days
pottering around in the garden. No rain (or snow) cold yes but I soon warm
up doing some heavy pruning. Just deposited a large trailer load of prunings
on the town bonfire. Such a useful thing this time of year.

I got all my tenderthings in (no, not them!) and under a tunnel of
Twinwall polycarbonate offcuts, installed a hurricane lamp therein, dug
up all the little tomato seedlings I could find (which have sprung up
where I've spread compost) and waited for the forecast frost.

This morning, went out expecting to find wiltedthings, but no - runner
beans frizzled, marrows all unspinached, small tomato seedlings I'd
missed in yesterday's dusk all correct and Bristol fashion.

So, Norfolk, cold, cold, blowy Norfolk has been a haven of tropical - er
- sub-tropical - well, unfrizzed night.

I shall not rely on tonight being similar thobut.

In the South Norfolk Triangle between Long Stratton, Wymondham and Diss,
where people venture, and search-parties are sent...

We had organised our last outing of the year for our Pension group, we do 8
to 10 each year, and spent the day in London. First a guided tour of
Wellington Arch and then of Apsley House, definitely both worth a visit
especially if you have also done or will do Stratfield Saye.
The forecasts made us apprehensive but it was a beautiful sunny day in
London if slightly chilly. Got blacker and blacker on the way home and
shortly after arriving back it chucked it down.
