It looks like the spring-like weather is set to change over the weekend:

Artic winter they said in the newpapers yesterday.  I think we are always too optimistic about Jan and Feb and it is true, that is usually when the worst weather comes.  Today here it is lovely, clear blue skies and sunshine but a heck of a wind, not too cold  though at the moment. busy_lizzie

Bupster - I was just going to post and say it's not like spring this side of the A14!! But you beat me to it!   I've just been out to find my car underneath its blanket of mud  - and the soapy water was blowing back in my face!  :-\

Was going to take some cardboard up to the plot and start covering a few pathways but I think doing battle with the wind and large sheets of cardboard will have to wait.  Brrrrr!

Why am I able to write bloody freezing but not f*g? :D

Think I might leave pathways for another time. Just get some digging done then sit at home in the warm  :)

Amanda & Bupster - I'm just down the road from you both & despite the winds it was gloriously sunny here - at about 2.00 today, according to my weatherstation it was 16oC in the garden (though I'm not sure I quite believe that, as by 2.30 it was 11o - nice to get into double figures though!).
