    What's your weather like 2026

    Raining quite heavily now but it should fizzle out. Wednesday might be dry so that’s something.

    @lizzie27 I was surprised to see them this morning as when I last looked they didn't appear to be that far on. However I've had a virtually frost free winter only three mornings when the car window would have needed scraping and all the other spring bulbs have been equally early.

    @LunarSea I have been to the medical centre this morning and there are two trees just behind the medical centre; one conifer and one deciduous. I don't know if that is where the wagtails roost.

    I saw a Red Robin tree for sale this morning and it was £50! I think that's a bit pricey. And it was no more than 6ft high.
