anyone seen the sun, it seems to have gone missing
we were promised a beautiful sunny day, all we got was freezing fog !
we went to the plot for 6 hours and came back frozen through, I'm just starting to defrost, apart from my toes..
so, if you find it, could you send it back please, ;D
-
I don't know where it was this morning but it was in mid Wales this afternoon.
-
You will only waste it. Just leave it to us that are used to it down on the sunny sarf coast.
-
Hee hee. We had it & it was lovely!
-
I've had it! We';ve had a full day of unbroken sunshine.
Sadly only three hours of it were spent digging due to clarinet/dance lessons, Liverpool v Everton and the golf course ::). Darn family.
-
A bright frosty morning here in Lincoln and then a beautifull sunny day. I hope that you get some sun on Sunday! 8)

Was up the lottie this afternoon in bright sunshine, it was feeling beautiful and warm, going to be cold again tonight though I think.

Garden is not 3.4 degrees :-\ it was 16 when i was on the plot with a high of 32!

Gorgeous here too in Surrey. I was at the supermarket by half 7 and the morning was all crisp and frosty.
Sunny all day long... packed my two off to a birthday party for a couple of hours, OH is at Twickenham for the rugby, so I got extra digging time!!
.....ooooh it doesn't take much to make me happy ;D ;)
-
Gorgeous here in Essex. Not a cloud in the sky.
-
you're all making me very envious :D it was lovely yesterday and could not get to the plot, tomorrow we're taking in laws out shopping , watch the sun disappear on wednesday 'cos that's our next plot day ;D
-
Foggy start but a bright sunny day by 12.30 - first time I had seen my plot with the sun on it!! and what a beautiful sight it was 8) 8)

Glorious day here in north London. Spent three hours in the garden pruning, mulching, turning compost and generally tidying up. Felt great to be out there but my back is complaining now. ;D

Yup, lovely sun here in South London today. :) Basked in it while standing out at a craft fair. Tomorrow is an allotment day, can't wait! Planting some primroses and chopping bramble while pondering this week's plan for digging of both plain ground and upping bramble roots.

its been fabulous here for the last 2 days - but I've been too poorly to leave the house. OH went to check on sweetpeas for me and said although it was really hot, there was still frost on the ground and the pond was totally frozen.
-
it was lovely here today and really warm until about 3pm. :o
Did the hangover the world of good by getting out in the garden and mending the broken g/h.
;D
-
bl00dy hell, just looked at the 5 day forecast. -6 on Tuesday !!!!!
:o

Had frost this morning then picked up as the day progressed. Only got 3hrs at the plot. 3yr old had enough and wanted to go home.
Got some beds dug. - Couchgrass roots turned upside down and covered with cardboard. Hopefully the spring will allow me to remove the couchgrass roots when I need to dig the bed for sowing..... Also got new steel shelving unit erected in my shed. (new to me - work was throwing it in the skip).

Same here KT but mine was a Two year old, only intrested in my rotavator which he calls a tractor, then he noticed the park across the road from the allotment I had no chance to do a thing then, never realised it was so hard to push a bloody swing.
::) ::)

Sun shining here in Norfolk from 8 till nearly 5 - been a beautiful day & got loads done outside, lets hope for some more tomorrow.
-
Wonderful in Essex today - loads of people on the allotment- felt like a summer's day. But I do wonder what is around the corner.
-
Enjoyed lovely sunshine here after a frosty start. My sciatica has at last eased so you can guess what I was doing today. First real chance to get gardening this year.
Fingers crossed for more sunshine tomorrow.

Beautiful day here near Manchester, but started off frosty.
Got to the plot about 1.30 pm and the man on the next plot was sitting down with a t-shirt on - I'd set off with five layers and extra socks!
-
Gorgeous day in Coventry too, did some path work this morning, replacing pallets with slabs, and burning the old pallets. Only problem was late morning, the frost was melting, so the ground became very slippery/sticky. Fabulous light though.

Got sunburnt on my forehead. Loads of plots being worked on. Saturday has been a day to remember. One day of sun, and a fantastic atmosphere shared amongst the tenants here in Midwinters at Cheltenham. Looking forward to, hopefully another good day on Sunday!.
-
Just put the dogs out for a wee and looked up at a such a clear sky, saw an aeroplane and i know, even at this early hour that today is going to be full of sunshine. Have a good day 'outside' everyone, look forward to reading the posts tonight!
-
The good news is, it's looking beautiful outside here too!
The bad news is, my husband left at 8am for a round of golf leaving me with the girls. Not sure how much digging I'll manage with them all there ::)
-
am paying for being smug yesterday - it started off beautifly here, sharp and clear but has steadily got more overcast and foggy as the morning has gone on. :(
Off to B&Q and Asda to look at lampshades and find my 6 year old a pair of jeans!
-
What a loverly day it has been here although misty this morning until noon that just got better and better.
Seems that nearly everyone turned up sometime today to work on their plots really great atmosphere
Wonder what next week weather will bring ???

More of a bite in the air today compared to yesterday, but wonderful all the same - how many times do you get a whole weekend of lottie weather in Feb? ;D
-
Same here Tabbycat, foggy all day - not too cold though.
-
We've just had two days of unbroken sunshine! Managed to get to the lottie for a couple of hours this lunchtime, and laid our first path, yippee! Forgot the camera of course, so sending other half back down there tomorow to take a snap. Meant to be v cold overnight tho' (-3 :o ), and it has come over very foggy now. Never mind, i'm tucked up warm in bed! Nite nite! x

Overcast and chilly here in Essex today, and it even tried to rain whilst I was on the school run.
I need to clean the conservatory windows MrsKP, a job I loathe, they always look smeary and I have tried vinegar and newspaper, designer cleaners, soapy water and a scrim, they still look pants.
Working tomorrow so hoping for a warm spell.

Friday and Saturday spent hours over lottie the sun was lovely, my dad come over Saturday and helped, we turned over 80% of the plot and harvested some parsnips. Glad I did it, looks like frosts are going to break down all the clots of earth. ;D ;D ;D
