The rain, it raineth every day
Yes indeed. Today is the shortest day. We march into spring from here, slowly. Today reminds us who is boss, because the recent mild has been whipped away by a front of real chill. Wrap up warm ladies & gentlemen.
….just saying to Mrs Eggs, signs of a few spring bulbs coming up, I dare say they’ll get a shock next week when the frost hits.
Wont just be them. Weather this morning was threatening a proper swirl of deep blue rolling in from russia over scandi and attacking Scotland first before curling down the west coast like a claw and grasping the entire mainland uk. Gonna be cold this week. Pick your days for shopping to avoid frost and ice. Roads could be dangerous, and who knows what councils are doing with gritters et al.
