Christmas eve extra prezzies and matching outfits - no no no. I do know some families who have their main presents on Christmas eve.
The Homebase here closed years ago. The one in the town where I was working at the time closed then as well.
It's been dull and still this morning. The forecast is for it to brighten up but there's no sign of the sun at the moment.
My only real gripe about Christmas is that it all starts far too early - most of the shops and public places have had decorations up for a couple...
A damp, mild start to December with 3mm rain yesterday morning. Today starts bright and still on the mild side (8C) but is forecast to get colder...
We had a bit of rain overnight/early this morning, 3mm in the gauge. That brings the November total to 33mm (assuming the forecast is right and...

Sunny, breezy and quite mild again today. Yesterday's rain turned out to be hardly anything, 1mm in the gauge.
Yesterday's rainfall was 23mm, and the temperature rose through the day and didn't drop much overnight. It did get quite windy but it's dropped...
To be honest, I don't know how they would perform in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc years because I don't leave mine in the pots, but spent compost or...
