WHATS YOUR WEATHER LIKE 2019

It now looks like it could snow

 

Do you like snow @Jiffy? If so then ' that's nice' but if not then ...!!!!

I'm going crazy as it's grey and wet now , hate being stuck indoors, not even nice enough for a damp walk either. The wind is definitely a chilly one so a bit too nippy to be in the greenhouse as well.

 

I think I'm a SAD suffered @lolimac , how about you?

 

@Upsydaisy know exactly what you mean..I'm getting cabin fever don't know about you

It's not cold here in East Yorkshire but I can't remember the last time we had such a wet October/November...March /April yes but not now..Still I count my blessings it's only ankle deep outside and not inside

 

Yep I think I'm heading that way Upsy...I've always embraced every season,well I've moaned about alot of them too
But we're gardeners and we need to be outdoors doing what we enjoy don't we..

 

It's 8C outside at the moment so not that cold really ,but we are in a bit of a wind tunnel and I think that makes the temperature seem cooler than it actually is.....well that's my theory....excuse... call it what you like

But true we are much luckier than some folk

 

Yes definitely, I just feel so claustrophobic in winter.

I miss not leaving all our big windows open at night too as I love laying in bed listening to the breeze and rustling nightlife.

Why does winter seem sooooo long yet summer so very short.....life is unfair at times.

Oh well I think I'll raid the fudge out now....need something sweet to cheer me up.

Anyone want a piece?

 

Not that cold and you're from down south..made of good stuff you are. try telling @pete that,bet he's got his vest on..

 

.....hmmmm but I do have two pairs of socks on as I absolutely can't tolerate cold feet. But nope, no thermals....yet!

 

Ps....I was born in Blackpool and could see the sea from our garden....so that must have toughened me up.

 

Drizzly showers with a moderate breeze temp 6c down to 3c tonight.

 

Hi @Logan are you joining our 'fed up' club as well......do you want a piece of fudge before I eat the pkt?

We're down to 1C tonight. , better light the fire!

 

I cant remember the weather being just so grey and wet for so long as it has been here this year. Looking into insulating the insulation now

 

Hi,

We keep our windows closed Upsy whilst we listen to Blackie doing his thing the year round; summer's are usually cancelled here through lack of interest because they are so rare. I've just scoffed two chocolates; a small bar of Moser Roth 85% dark cocoa and two Garibaldi biscuits; I'm in mourning for the workshop; it's been too dire here to get off my backside; 7C doesn't sound too bad but Gale gives a real chill factor; last year I made and installed our new front porch including making the door; knowing Gale and Blackie would be only too pleased to attack it I made it to closes tolerances; this morning the bottom of the door was just sticking on the threshold so I've planed a bit of to give more clearance then applied a coat of water based high quality paint; job sorted.

Kind regards, Colin.


New porch under construction last year.



Porch completed and fully installed; it's made a huge difference to keeping our hallway warm and a bonus is we now don't lock this door the porch is perfect to receive parcel deliveries; the front of our bungalow though suffers extremes of weather usually with Blackie and Gale trying to join us in our front room.

 

Our club is getting bigger

Yes porches definitely make a big difference, when hubs drew up our house plans that was one of the first things we agreed on. We have cupboards in it for shoes and coats plus a hanging space for damp stuff.
