Just poured a kettle of hot water in the birdbath to defreeze it for my babes ... it's already frozen over.

just looked outside, one of my broad beans in the pots IN the slightly heated newly repaired g/h look all droopy and like the frost's been at it.

and my hellebore under the hedge is definitely droopy.

Lordy !

Blooming cold here in my part of Essex this morning.  -1 on the car themometer.  The children and I washed the car yesterday after school....it looked like an iceberg this morning...a clean one, though.  ;D  A beautiful clear crisp day however, a joy to work outside although the 8 layers of thermals did hinder me a little.

no snow here in donny..............but very icy................very very icy............as i found out last night at work.
if ice came in bright colours i maybe would have noticed it!

as it was.....the damage to the wall wasnt too bad.................the brand new tractor (fresh off the production line and ready for shipping out to finland)..........cushioned the blow of my forklift...............which im sure would have won first place on that recent "dancing on ice" program!!!

both tractor and forklift are "doing as well as can be expected"..as they say!
spent the rest of the night/morning picking up various bits and bobs of the tractor.........and spreading grit so the same thing didnt happen today on the day shift!
