chelsea Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Where are my frosty mornings??? I want to wear my gloves and scarves and walk in the leaves I want to see my breath in the air I want a cold nose, pink numb face-cheeks I want to come home and be all toasty with my heating on and candles lit I want my chickens to enjoy the garden - but they dont like rain I want to open my windows in the morning, look at the white ground and let in the nippy air I dont want - wet wet wet....ive seen nothing but rain..... my garden is all muddy - (its like the battle of the Somme in my garden) its too hot to put my heating on too warm to wear my new parka coat too wet to have my windows open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepe Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Well said! The rain is driving me We've even got floods on high ground here in Cornwall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveypup Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 It has been unseasonably mild 'ere up North (I have just been out having a brew with chooks in a t-shirt!) The only effect this seems to be having on me is that I am not nearly so organised with the C word - normally I have nearly finished by now. Have got a couple of bits but that's all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindy Loo Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I lit the woodburner in the lounge yesterday afternoon. The rain was lashing against the windows, we were all curled up watching a family film, me knitting little hats for Innocent Smoothies. Just picture it - it was lovely until ... after about an hour we were all dying of the heat! Please let us have some cooler weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindy Loo Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I think they start selling them at the end of November but I'm not absolutely sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Well we can do the seeing breath bit here. Quite cold. Quite sunny now though. But flippin' freezin' and the garden has a nice muddy patch where the chickens ate all of the reseeded grass! Starlet dug up that bit now!

Just picture it - it was lovely until ... after about an hour we were all dying of the heat! Please let us have some cooler weather! That happened to us last night. It was lovely up until about 9.00pm,& it got so hot that we all got sleepy & went to bed. Roll on a cold snap.....I have new boots to debut!

Egluntyne Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 A bit more autumnal here in Sheffield today. Gloriously sunny bit a snap in the air and a hint of frost on the grass. Tommorrow is going to be rain rain rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 We have had some beautiful weather down here in sunny Dorset! Last Friday I went to lunch with a friend and we sat out - it was SO warm. Yesterday was a lovely day as well - but looking at the forecast on the bbc website today I am sure glad I am "working" at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 We've had some good weather here in Cheshire too, got some washing dry outside yesterday, mowed the lawn, and then it went so cold over night we lit the fire best of both worlds karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 just seen the forecast for the rest of the week and the weekend. RAIN RAIN RAIN... Dont think I can take anymore!! area around the eglu run boggy now, we keep replacing the hemcore in the run as I dont like my girls sitting in the wet, and because they wont come out in the rain either. only consolation - the rain washes the POO away from my decking so I dont have to do it with the hose. roll on FROST/SNOW/CRISPY LEAVES AND CRUNCHY GROUND Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
