    What's your weather like 2026

    Heavy cloud, dry and breezy. It should get up to 15c with sunny intervals. Definitely drying out everywhere.

    What's Looking Good March 2026

    What are we doing in the garden 2026

    Clever magpies! I find lots of nest size twigs dropped on the lawn. They love acer tree twigs as they are bendy. Before mowing I have to clear them off the lawn.
