Well, I guess that means we will have it back soon then! 0C all day yesterday and -7C overnight with a hard frost this morning and no sun - so I guess the Crocus will be having a day off  :(

Did everyone hear the wind last night? Across the road a trampoline lifted, flew on to the neighbours car, lifted again and smashed the living room window

More of my louvre panes fell out last night. How are they kept in place?

Very windy here last night with heavy rain.  The snow has melted fast though there is still ice in places and snow where it has been piled up at the side of the road.  The down side? - My cold frame is flooded again.  I thought yesterday that the bulbs might need watering but the decision has been made for me.

It's now a month since the temperature was last above freezing point. 

It maybe looks like the fjord is freezing in this picture taken from the house, but it's not. We had a high tide which washed ice away from the shoreline.

The rain fell last Sunday instead of the promised snow and in three days the roads and fields were free of ice and snow but for a few small patches that linger on in ditches and ploughed fields.  Walking this morning there was blue sky, a light opaque layer of mist hanging over every field and the temperature was positively balmy.  In an hour's walking the only life seen, accepting birds, was a deer browsing on oil seed  rape and three cars- pretty damn wonderful.  It may be the packets of seeds arriving through the post, and saying it offers up a hostage to fortune, but this morning here in The Vienne there was a feel of Spring on the air

Snow for parts of the UK on Wednesday because the cold air that was pushed to the east is on it's way back again.

Picture needed of your louvres Mark!  

Here's mine, there's lots of different designs, mine are held in place by aluminium pieces which hold them quite tightly.  There's no way mine could fall out (is that tempting fate   ::) )
