The Fens, jolly chilly!

Been damp & 'grismal' all day in WManchester.

I did the shed sort out yesterday, not as bad as expected. Now all the boxes of seed trays etc are easy to get at. The nearest box contains the netting for my home-made fruit cage, which will need to be erected sometime soon.

Ok back to the top of wardrobe sort out......1 more box to go, J.

Dull, grey skies and cold here, not shed cleaning weather, so it was a trip to the GC in search of some Red Duke of York spuds, mission aaccomplished and they were cheaper than Wilkinsons. Also looked round the sale section and bought 6 plants for 50p each. 

The fruit cage sounds a good plan.

Agreed Bunny, don't like the look of tomorrow at all!

Grey & dampish today, but wind definitely getting up now .

Dry now but wow that is a cutting ice wind ..numb .

Bunny, the sensible people on this thread keep telling you you need clothes on when in the garden, apart from it freezing bits off it frightens the neighbours.
Thermals and woolly hat, you know the one with the floppy ears.
Stockton woke early to a bright bedroom and that was before seven, it is now sunny with puffy cloud, the Hills are a golden glow.
Saying that we just had a fast shower? where did that come from? Warmer although it could be a mixed up day.

Frank.

No wind and have just watched the sun win over the grey cloud cover, Now there is a blue sky - not ventured out yet to test the temp.

WE now have wind here  Gives a chill bie as you go around

WManchester-about 7-8C out there now, but feels colder as wind is wild.

Have topped up birdfeeders, put down some more rat bait- joy, checked on the greenhouse roof panel that has flipped inwards this time, so isnt flapping/loose & am back inside. J.

What a strange day .  About every half hour the weather has changed. 

 Very windy this morning & light snowflakes were going up & sideways.  A short burst of sun followed by rain, sleet then hail, all interspersed with bright spells.  5 mins ago I could barely see the keyboard (I'm in the sunlounge) & the snow was coming down in large flakes, now it's bright & just a few fine bits are coming down - and still blowing around, but the wind has abated a lot  don't like wind.

Wet and windy here. 

Another fence panel looking like it won't last the night. On Saturday I contacted the owners family of next door to discuss replacing all the panels, offering to pay half of the cost for replacement and do the work, he sounded very plesant but wanted to think it over and contact his daughter who owns the property, said he'd get back Sunday...when there was no call, I'm thinking here we go...a dispute over the fence...

Had a call back this evening...said neighbour had visited the property over Christmas whilst I was away and was making arrangements to replace it and cover the cost, as we are both responsible for the fence I'll cover half the cost but how nice is that, she hasn't lived there for over 2yrs. 

Sleeting now on top of a layer of snow that fell overnight. I'm sure I heard rain or perhaps hail on the windows in the wee small hours.

It was just above freezing first thing, then dropped to just below as the sleet fell.

Winds have dropped, but due to increase again later. I need to go out to investigate a 'bang' heard last evening. The greenhouse roof panels still alll there from looking out of windows, so not sure what's 'gone'. J.
