 - until this morning. Jumpers from now on!

But, at 6am, the sky was worth it.

Only just getting your jumpers out? Us young 'ens must be far too soft these days.

Been wearing my hat and scarf for a couple of weeks. Got my gloves out this morning. We had roofs like that this morning. beautiful! (first frost of this end of the year) and of course the heating's broken at work. brr.

Yes, I switched my central heating on a couple of days ago, and wore a hat and gloves when walking to work this morning. It finally feels seasonal.

Derekthefox :D

Gloves etc? The pictures were taken in my night-wear - T shirt & boxers. I always go out early to check on things, or go to the freezer.

But yes - I shall have to lay the all-day stove very soon. But I SO hate doing the ashes every day that I leave it as late as possible!!

Yesterday was the first time on the allotment that I've needed any more on top than a t-shirt. It actually felt like autumn rather than late summer - quite nice really. Still only the barest minimum of heating on at home though... wonder if we'll get the really cold winter that keeps being forecast?

Cheers,
Rob ;)

Big rush this morning as I needed to scrape the frost off the car before I could take the kids to school, then straight on to the allotment where finally my snips, sprouts and kale have had the frost they need to make them sweet as can be!  Mind you, unusual for this part of Essex, the ground was so frosty I couldn't get the fork into the ground until the same came around the trees!  brrrr.  Still in a t-shirt though, with a thermal vest on underneath!  My feet froze, even with 2 pairs of socks and proper boots on...they are still cold....about to get into a hot bath!

I've had the heating on for a couple of weeks! Got two jumpers on right now.  It's very nippy here. Now I'm supposed to be a hard Northerner and call all you Southerners soft am I not? My only explanation could be that I was born in Kingston upon Thames so I'm not a thoroughbred Northerner. Those first  6 months of my life must have had a huge bearing on me?  :)

Had a light frost this morning, so have wrestled my cannas and other tenders into the G'house today.
Thermal undies at the ready for work tomorrow, and yes our heating has gone up a notch! ;D

Hard frost here in Suffolk, but was soooo pretty, Clear skies and sparkling everywhere. Heating on, jumper on, pick axe in car for parsniip removal!!  ;D ;)

[Heldi]

Hi Lily! That owl is called Holly and she is an absolute stunner!

[Delilah]

Stunning piccys Heldi!

A slight frost here and a definate nip in the air today, my little tootsies and the end of my nose are freezing - not complaining though I love a chill in the air !

[tim]

Lovely photos,  Heldi - certainly is reindeer - we wear a different suit.

Eagle Owl - 2m wingspan!

No frost here yet, but then we are on the coast.  There is a definite drop in temperature though and I have started wearing tights again, which I hate.  We have just turned the heating on at home.  Was at the lottie today and although it was very windy, once I got going didn't feel the cold at all.  Lovely pics, Heldi and Tim.  I love reindeers! Have just written my Christmas book out for my preps, have ordered a Northumbrian free range chicken for Christmas and will make my cake on Sunday, so I feel I have made a start. :) busy_lizzie

[tim]

But not Elks, BL??

[CotswoldLass]

Quick pop in...still around.
Super  pics Heldi - we can hear owls hear but, like the Us insect 'noseum' ,we don't. So. it's nice to see one.

Tim it was even chilly going to lunch in Burford today!

Love to all, CL x

[busy_lizzie]

Elks included Tim  :D busy_lizzie

[Heldi]

Tim I like your Elk. Is it sticking it's tongue out?  Your decorated reindeer is cute but not as cute as these little fellows. Six months old.  All together now..."Aaaaawwww!"   Apparently their coats are really very soft to touch. I didn't get the chance to stroke one but my son did. He had one adopted for him by his Grandma last Christmas.

I wished I had taken some more pictures of Holly the Eagle Owl. She wasn't too impressed with being tethered and was very restless. I saw the extent of her 2 metre wingspan Tim when she was jiggling about. I was definately impressed by her. She was beautiful.  I didn't want to upset her by poking my camera at her. Mind you, she was sitting right next to a "bunny village" so maybe that had something to do with it.  Dinner just over the fence?
