Egluntyne Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Look at the berries on the Holly bush at Egluntine Towers. It doesn't usually have so many so soon. What do you reckon....are we going to have lots and lots of snow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I love looking at snow at night. When you look out and the snow is glowing bright and even in the darkness of night it seems "light" outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I hope so, but it might just be the sign of a truly pants summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhapsody Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I agree with cinammon, we had loads of rain this summer and then sunshine early Autumn. Perfect berry-growing weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I have just flown with a Captain who's wife works for the Met office in the long term forecasting dept (?) They are predicting a really cold winter, with snow! Love the snow! Can't wait to 'phone work and tell them i'm snowed in and can't make it! So it looks like your 'berry' theory might be right Egluntine!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeymerKim Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Yaaaaaay! I love the snow. Our holly bush is full of berries too. The last week has been freezing here with the cars needing s"Ooops, word censored!"ing every morning. I'm gonna dig up some of my parsnips and swedes this afternoon as they've now had a good "frosting" to see what they are like.

Roxanne Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Just read yesterday that the Bewick swans have arrived from Siberia 11 days earlier than last year and this is the earliest date since records began. The 'all knowing' authorities on the subject say this is a sign of an impending harsh winter. Our crab apple and pyracantha (sp?) are groaning with berries which I understand means we are in for a cold one!! Must order a new fleece - the dog sleeps on my old one!

Make some Crab Apple Jelly....it is absolutely divine. The chopping and de-stalking was a bit of a bind, but I did it in front of the telly and it was certainly worth the faff. Have a go!

Cinnamon Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I am sitting here in my office watching a real swarm of long tailed tits making short work of the mass of orange berries on my Pyracanthas (*sp) hedge.
