    What's your weather like 2026

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

    @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.
