We had a bit of frost on the garden this morning. One corner of a south
facing border always seems to get more than any other part but I
suppose that's because further along it has some tree cover. According
to the temperature gizmo on my computer it's -1C in Plymouth at
present. Everyone on the nursery is wrapped in several layers of warm
clothing, which is then slowly removed, stage by stage, when they're
working in the greenhouses, on which the sun is happily shining atm!
Enough is retained to preserve their modesty! ;-)

It's 9C here and damp. The Daily Mail's forecast of Arctic weather didn't
materialise as usual.

My daughter will be in Amsterdam this week - what's the weather forecast
for the area?

You will have to wait a day for Sunday's forecast.

I'll forward that to her, thanks. It's a short business trip - arriving
Wednesday, leaving Friday.

We had a very frosty morning, although by 9.15, the
car said it was +2c. Our walk with the Age Concern
group was chilly (we can not go fast!) and the ground
was wet but still crunchy with the frost, with plenty
of ice covered puddles to break

Clouded up by about 11.00am when we got into the cafe.

I hope she has nice weather. Yesterday was nice so it is possible.

I'm crossing my fingers!

The bad news is that it is gloomy and damp today, but at least it is 8C and not
raining ATM. There's a graphic version of the Dutch forecast with a rain radar

The forecast is drizzle for the next two days

Better than sleet...
Her plane arrived early, and she's just checked into the hotel - with a
US credit card. No chip&pin, unfortunately...

Did you see the sloppy toy soldiers changing the guard all morning?

No, she was working, so I figured I'd watch again tomorrow afternoon
when she's between meetings.

Today it's even damper and gloomier than yesterday. OTOH a year ago it was
snowing and gloomy.

She said it was 'nice' drizzle. But she likes Scottish weather!

Shame about the lack of gnats, midges and mosquitoes at this time of year in NL.

Sunny days produce midges here in tropical Devon!

Sunny days? :-)

Next time the Royal Marines move/rescue cars in Cornwall they might find it
quicker if they use more than two planks. It's good entertainment doing it with
only two planks on programmes like Top Gear, but time consuming and a bit silly
in the real world.

Perhaps that's all they had available. Military funding cuts etc....!

Possibly and no plans to replace the road because of national budget cuts?

More & longer planks would certainly be cheaper! A sort of mini King
Harry ferry, perhaps!

as thick as two short ones? :-)

Maybe perforated steel plates would be a better solution. The sort used for
temporary runways in post war Europe.

Is that the same as a Bailey Bridge? I love the fact that it was a 10
yr old boy who came up with the rescue idea in Cornwall, though. Did
the job and gave them some training, too!
