Weather report from the lakes
It’s been damp and overcast down here in SE23 today so the gardening we were planning to do was confined to repotting some seedlings indoors. Thanks to Rich R in the Lake District for letting us know about the weather up there. “Still some snow on the hill tops this week. Biting winds but lovely sun and it’s light until nearly 6.30pm.” Great stuff Rich and ta for the picture, we can’t wait for spring.
A view from the lakes
Cheers to Rich in the Lake District for sending this lovely snap today and don’t it look great up in the background? “A lovely day here, freezing and sunny.” It wasn’t bad here in London today either, bright and sunny. And no rain for a change.
Do you reckon sping is on its way? Or not very far away?
Things that appear in your front garden (a new series)
A big cheers to Rich in the Lake District again, for sending this picture of what appeared in his front garden the other day. Wow, that is one mad “male Common Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus), also frequently called a Ring-necked Pheasant.” as AI told us. Cheers Rich, anything else mad that turns up as mad please let us know.
Sunsets of the week
Cheers to Rich in the Lake District for sending these great sunset pictures from last week. Looks like quite a magical place! Keep those pictures coming.
Angry skies and a bit of snow
Cheers to Rich R up in the Lake District for sending us this dramatic picture of what the weather was like up there yesterday. They’ve had some snow and the sky is looking a bit angry. Keep warm up there Rich!
A cosmos a month before christmas
A big thanks to our good friend Rich R up in the Lake District for sending over the photograph of his cosmos (and a shout to Debby H too, as the seeds came from her plants). Rich writes, “Really cold here today, wind chill feels like 2°C. With hard frosts and snow on the way, I thought I’d better send you this pic of the cosmos before it’s too late.”
Brilliant stuff, Rich – thanks again (and to Debby H) for sharing!
Best view from a front garden ever – Take 2
Following on from our last post of Rich R‘s front garden in the lake district, this is what he said “If I turn the camera a couple of degrees the view is, in my opinion, even better!” and he’s right!
Best view from a front garden ever?
