What a grey day...
and it really is, too - nothing but grey as far as I can see. The
whole landscape is very bleak but various birds are popping around here and there which cheers things up a bit. We had thought of going out for lunch today but when Ray rang his daughter to suggest it, she said she didn't think she or we would get through the lanes - sheet ice everywhere. It was the same yesterday for a large part of the day, so it looks like another afternoon in front of the fire and the telly. Tsk! ;-) -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials.

Just like a day in June except somewhat colder outside the house. -- (¯`·. ®óñ© © ²°¹° .·´¯) |

Complete covering of snow, sun just above the horizon shining through the trees, big gentle snowflakes dropping steadily. And a flock of goldfinches in the birch trees. The snow has now stopped and we have blue skies. I probably won't go out as I have work to do here, but I'm just about to walk around the garden. -- Kay |

Up here in Cheshire the sky is clear and the sunshine is brilliant but much too cold for gardening. Lots of birds are visiting for their lunch.

Just like a day in June except somewhat colder outside the house. We had that for a couple of days last week, it was glorious. But it's turned right round now and the wind is in the south, so rain and snow will probably be on its way. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics. South Devon |

Tender & exotics. South Devon Mainly lovely here in sunny Felixstowe :-) Every half hour or so a cloud passes over and dumps snow or hail, but then it clears again. Generally white around except where the sunshine has cleared patches. Last time I looked the outside temperature was still below 2C. Waiting for transport to arrive before we go out for a walk.

Up here in Cheshire the sky is clear and the sunshine is brilliant but much too cold for gardening. Lots of birds are visiting for their lunch. Steve North Dorset - glorious sunshine with just a line of distant cloud to the S & SW. Goldfinches, Redpolls and Siskins cramming the nyjer seed feeders with the usual squabbling. Chaffinches, Greenfinches, Sparrows polishing off the seed and sunflower hearts at amazing speed and Great, Blue and Coal Tits mobbing the nut feeders. Diligently hoovering up at ground level the woodpigeons and pheasants are ably assisted by the odd dunnock and any sparrow and chaffy overflow. The bully boy starlings appear to be observing a New Year resolution of better behaviour. And I haven't seen so many male blackbirds for a long time - about 10 at any one time; a few song thrushes are ferreting about in the various beds. Everything is observed by a pair of male bullfinches which only rarely visit the table. Lots of targets for the sparrowhawk! A perfect winter's day..... -- Gopher .... I know my place! |
