    What's your weather like 2026

    It's wet outside this morning and a surprising plus 2c. It was frosty when I went to bed last night.

    Portuguese Laurels problem

    Just one further thought @Selwynha, if you plan to dig up one of the plants to investigate, wait for the temperature to improve to avoid any further damage.

    Latest moan from you and me 2026

    Bloomin' Christmas interrupting the flow of essentials! ;) If you have a Waitrose nearby, their own brand Belgium Fruit and Nut is pretty good. Comes in a 180g pack at a reasonable price.
