    That'll upset the toadstools in my lawn. They think it must be Autumn and have started to reappear now, instead of next August.

    A good time to check any elderly neighbours are ready for the cold spell , that have have some spare food and their heating is working ok, or if they need any shopping done ...

    Agree there HD! Apart from looking after my M and D, we keep an eye on other elderly relatives and an elderly neighbour!

    Hello to you as well Golly, hope you are keeping well.

    Looks as though we're going to get a big drop in temperature. We never usually worry about plants in our garden but we've got a tall plant from Cornwall which has grown well and for the first time ever we've wrapped up a plant.Smile

    We have had daffodils out on the green in front of my house for two weeks now. Hope they are hardy enough to survive.

    'Twas  Delightful  at  Castleton C.C. Site  this  w/e  !!  More  'vans  than  you  could  shake  a  stick  at  -->  Fair  hotching  with  folks  out  walking  and  about  3/4  or  so  of  the  people  I  saw  had  at  least  one  dog  with  them !  I  was 
    also  surprised  that  I  had  to  keep  turning  the  heating  down  in  t'  van  ==  hotter  than  I  have  it  at  home 
    Cool
