Oh what a miserable, grey and wet day it is here! Not a day to be out and gardening, or even taking photos for the blog. At least we heard there were no more community cases of Covid-19 after last week’s scare. Keep you fingers crossed for us that it stays like that!

As we approach the shortest day, the weather remains mild here, with day time temperatures up to 16 or 17C, with nights around 12C.
