    Whats Your Weather Like 2025

    It’s quite sunny at the moment but likely more clouds as the day goes on. Might risk some line drying but probably too cold unless the sun stays out. Looks colder for Christmas and into the Nee Year.

    Beautiful birds. The females are very pretty too, in their own understated way. I went for a walk in the rain on Wednesday and spotted a few males in the distance; it was too far away to tell if there were any females with them. I also had a good close-up view of a kingfisher.

    Tomato Growing 2025

    My cuttings of Chocolate Drop are overwintering quite well so far. The sweet peppers went in today. So I popped in a few micro dwarf seeds into the propagator to keep them company.
