Patricia W Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 We're forecast a dry day here in Abingdon (for once) so I have a list of jobs like cleaning chickens, and planting the large number of bulbs that it seemed a good idea at the time to buy!

Eggasperated Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Lovely here now (for November), drizzled a bit earlier but have managed to give the chicken house a scrub out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Sunny here too - wish I was at home to get out in the garden and muck out the chooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Clare- your time will come! The problem is that now I have time because I have retired, I also have arthritis, and less energy, so everything is a huge effort. But today I have mucked out the Omlet WIR, (and boy, did it need it!), filled the compost heap and several bags with chicken poo, and planted out 6 shrubs that have been hanging around for 2 weeks. I haven't got round to the bulbs though. And now the big girls are nice and clean, I'm thinking I should clean out the bantams.... I'm just having a cuppa and may go back out - but I may not.... I think I may pay the price for all this activity tomorrow - but at least I feel I've made some progress today. Lovely and sunny still here.

The Dogmother Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 It's cold and drizzly here now. Still, I guess it's to be expected at this time of year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggasperated Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Came out from my Pilates class last night to find there had a been a torrential downpour and storm, and half the roads were flooded . Today is damp but clearing up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Clear, sunny with a lovely mist, 3.2deg first thing. This was my view as I drove in the Estate gate to work this morning... sadly none of the deer would co-operate and pose in the frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Thats so beautiful DM It must really lift your spirits, going to and being at work I think our surroundings are so important to our wellbeing Overcast here and warmer in than out even without any heating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Thank you Daphne, it didn't pick up the colours of the trees in those woods on the hill though Been raining hard here since 11am, now dark and gloomy. 8.8deg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 We have had a revoltingly wet day here, quite cold too. We are off to London tomorrow and apparently it is going to rain pretty much all day there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Cold here too Liz, didn't get above 8deg all day dry now though and clear too, so there will be a frost in the morning. We're off to London too - meeting up with friends for lunch and then (if the weather permits) watching the Lord Mayor's fireworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggasperated Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 After a very hard frost sat night / sun morning we had a beautiful day on Sunday. We spent most of it tackling some more of the yards of hedges we have to cut. Today is mild and wet - what a contrast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Absolutely gorgeous yesterday - like you, we have a contrast today.... cold, wet and miserable; my office has only just nudged up to 15deg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Wet wet wet in NW London and hens are wet too - only one egg - they look miserable too. Poor things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saronne Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Cold, dreary and damp here in Leicestershire. I'll come home to my cats staring at the woodburner, willing it to light. Saronne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 It has been mild and wet here, it improved a little this afternoon, ie it stopped raining, but was still misty and damp. It is so wet and muddy everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groovychook Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Had our first touch of frost this morning. Low mist in the valley and blue skies. Think it's going to be a crisper day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 -0.3deg this morning, first really good frost and it's beautiful here. The sun is warming up nicely and the steam is rising off the thatches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 We came home from an evening out at about, 10.30pm yesterday and the car on the drive was covered with the hard bobbly sort of frost even by then. It is a beautiful crisp morning here too. It was our anniversary yesterday and the weather was so similar to the day we got married and the morning after, usually our anniversary is mild and wet, brought back good memories.
