Shifted seasons
Writing this in what seems to be mid November here in South Wales.
Has anyone noticed that we have had a 2 month shift in our seasons, the last couple of years Summer was April/May/June, Autumn was July / August and now we seem to be at the end of Autumn heading towards Winter. This could account for us getting snow in November when it should be in Jan. David Hill |

Spring was nice this year, and summer less nice. But if you actually look at the averages you will find that spring was a bit warmer than a normal spring, but a long way short of an average summer; and summer was a bit cooler than a normal summer, but a long way above an average autumn. |

looks pleasant and typical for mid-Sept. Though the overnight temperature last night was actually weirdly warm for the time of year - it was 16C at 0630 this morning, a level rarely reached in August. I have been noticing that overnight has been remarkably warm this month. Particularly since returning from Lincoln! Lowest I've seen since start of Sept is 16', and that was mid afternoon, it doesn't seem to have gone lower overnight - I've been waking up hot even with the window open. |

We are using the thinnest duvet we could buy. Our thinnest duvet involves sleeping under the cover with no duvet. ;-) Although for some reason we've gone back to using the duvet. Instead of fighting over who has the cover, now we fight over who doesn't. |

Even in Italy in mid summer I still had a sheet. (Although that was mostly to hide from the mosquitoes, which had decided to find me particularly tasty) |

How did you make them lie still long enough to apply it? |

On the other hand I have abiding memories of standing in 8inch deep snow during a Remembrance Day parade back in the 60s.

I mentioned just the same to my wife last week, we actually had two winters in 2010 but nothing in 2011 when usually Jan and Feb are the two coldest months. -- Regards. Bob Hobden.

OTOH, I'm still picking Tulameen (summer) raspberries though Autumn Bliss gave up a couple of weeks ago! Everything's gone haywire this year.

My yellow raspberries (and everyone else's on the allotment - probably the same variety, cos I think someone cut their down and left them to anyone who wanted them!) are just getting into full swing this weekend |

My holly has both red berries and a second flush of flowers on now and the formerly indoor forced hyacinths put outside are in flower again believing they have had a winter already!

Similarly my Sambucus has also shot up considerably. Is it time prune these now? Bill |
