So far it seems to be the wettest winter I can recall. So much rain so often it is impossible to do the necessary winter jobs in the garden. Wouldn't be so bad if there was a warm dry house to spend the day in.
Last winter and summer was very wet too. We've had more frost, and snow for a couple of years. Gone are the days of cold winters, minus 18 here in 2012. Nothing like that cold for years.
We've just had 4 nice dry days, all change now as very wet and windy
Sitting here looking through Active Posts I suddenly was aware of a really loud noise. When I looked it was as though the house were underneath a huge waterfall. It's a long time since I saw rain that torrential, but it lasted no more than 2 minutes.
Strong winds hit us overnight and I have spent some time this morning tidying up water butts that had migrated. We have to empty them for the winter since they do not withstand being frozen from top to bottom and they are stored in a sheltered (but not sheltered enough) bit of the garden.
t'was a wee bit blowy in these parts last night - I haven't ventured out to assess the damage yet though. Hopefully the poly tunnel and greenhouse are still standing.

Global Warming. Bah, humbug!
On my headstone it will say: Please switch off mobile phones. I'm trying to get some sleep.
Drop in for a natter about anything French related.
