Saturday, January 10/2025


 So this is winter. Well, definitely not cold. Which makes us much luckier than much of Europe, with parts of Scotland experiencing thirty centimetre snowfalls while the Isles of Scilly recorded ninety-nine mph wind gusts and many places have no electricity or water. 

So temperature here this afternoon 18 degrees and our sunset features a golden glow that should bode well for tomorrow but the forecasters suggest that alternate sun and rain is likely to continue to mid-week. Could be worse. And the sun bits are lovely.
