What a horrible day, pouring outside and started getting dark early afternoon. Said on the news that there would be snow on the mountains. What a thought. I forced myself to tidy the house, then made a big pot of soup, some of it will go in the freezer. The carrots, turnip, leak and potatoes all came from my garden so that gave me pleasure just making it. We are suppose to get wet and windy weather for most of the week, very depressing. My winter straw is waiting to be put inside, at least it is baled so should be ok. Even the chickens are staying in, not so stupid. :chook: :&>
-
we have had geese flocking and flying off in moray, winter crocus are up winter is def just round the corner
-
We like the idea of nice warm fires again.brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, cold, dark need chocolate and carbs ;)
-
log fire, posh coffee, marshmallows and chocolate mmmmmmmmmmmhhhhhhhhh
-
All I want is to have a fire. :'( *Reminder to self - phone builder to make fireplace for new log burner!
-
Hope winter holds off until we're in the house. Don't fancy winter in teh caravan ::)
-
its been very strange weather wise here (warwickshire) one minute its very pleasant the next its either windy or wet or both, central heating has been used several times in august and september which is frankly wrong!!!
please can we have our proper seasons back?
-
It's been a right miserable day here, so much so, all my birds have stayed inside all afternoon :o
-
It's so WARM here - either that or it's my age ::) Very windy and periodically wet, but very warm.
-
its very warm in moray also, we had rain this evening and wind has picked up but its been warm alday, very strange
-
Very wet and windy here in the Borders, but still feeling quite humid too....
We had our first scraping of the car window actually a couple of weeks ago, on the morning of 31/08 (at 6am I hasten to add and only on the car parked further away from the house)!
But I for one am looking forward to not feel quilty if I stay inside after dinner, as it is dark and the fire is on, and I can do some spinning/weaving/knitting again! (Oh and the poultry is inside before we have our tea!!!!)
-
Yes, I noticed when I went out tonight that although it was pouring and blowing a gale the car was registering 18 degrees - felt wrong somehow.
-
It's glorious here this morning. Not a cloud in the sky, bit of a breeze but not cold. Perfect!
-
its cooler in moray this morning, grey cloud and wind but dry(at the moment anyway)
-
It's lovely down here in Devon, you would need a jumper first and last thing but still hot during the day.
-
Windy & rainy here again this morning.... kinda goes with my mood :-\
-
As i wanted to put some fencing up today its pooring with rain here. :(
-
Its horizontal rain here today too - even doing my VAT seems nice sitting here in the dry, - actually doing VAT is always a nightmare, but at least its dry in here apart from the tears of frustration on the keyboard.

Well, the wind and rain this morning were horrific (the wind is still at it!)
We've already got about an inch of standing water over the lawn and half the veg patch. The bird runs were like paddy fields and only the ducks were happy (ecstatic, in fact!)...
One of the dogs did not even bother to come with me this morning when I went down to feed ther birds. He did his toilet on the grass closest to the house, and went back inside and put himself on the sofa to sleep. Man's Best Friend indeed ::)
-
Managed to sneak an hour and half away from the rain taking the dogs to the woods for their run, bucketed on the way home so went to a friend for a cuppa and a nice chat in her conservatory listening the the drumbeating on the roof! Nice and cosy!
-
Beautiful bright blue sky day today but very cold. A real riding day, shame I'm on the train going to work:-(
-
its blinking awful here, blustery wind and heavy showers!!!!!!!!!!!! its yuk
-
Well, the sun is out but sooooo windy, hope are roofers who are staying manage to do thier job safely today. I popped to see Anne yesterday and blow me, she was out galavanting, so I went off to buy some more rubbish and some sweeties...see what you did Anne!!!!!! ;) ;)
-
Dogs need walking regardless of how I feel - as you know. Phone my mobile next time!
-
Weather is fine, the swallows have gone, the blackberries are mouldy yep winter is on its way
-
It's been lovely here today - sunny, warm out of the breeze. Clouding up a bit now, but the breeze was certainly bringing down leaves and the trees are on the turn. Ponies getting winter coats.
-

-

-
I'll second that :-\
-
been watching the swallows gethering this morning, thats another sign things are changing, they will soon vacate heard more geese as well this morning, its all happening in the bird department.
-
Our swallows have long gone except 3 from a last minute brood who are still lurking near their nest - parents stayed 10 days after the main departure but finally went a couple of days ago. Maybe your lot will pick the little ones up on the way past, Faith.
The geese which have left yours have flown past here (slap bang in the middle of the south of Scotland) so well on their way to Morecambe Bay :)
-
hope they all get to there destinations safely :wave:

ffffffffffffffffffffffffrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezin!!!!!!!!!!!!
