Frosty here to , though not car covering levels. Certainly enough after the unseasonal weather recently to remind me what the real time of year is.

we had a nice frost this morning that necessitated scraping the car before setting off nice crunchy grass and the air so clear i could hear the goats ears slapping when they shook their heads and millie braying for breakfast a quarter of a mile away......i like weather like that - much nicer than interminable wind and dreary grey skies

microclimates

. i am going to be very careful where i pick if i move again ,a few miles seems to make loads of difference to the temp, rainfall etc . this one huddersfield has changed loads since the 1960s ,it is now drier ,much warmer and less windy than it was, all of which are good for an urban redneck like me

half the broadleaf trees are only now starting to turn , the rest are still yellow with most leaves still hanging . climate change seems to be a postcode lottery .

Not quite frost here yet, but certainly close to, and wind making it feel very cold, even in the sunshine. Neighbour's cat (who usually barely passes the time of day) came scratching at door this morning and has been curled up in front of radiator all day (even when it was off!). Suspect I'll remain NBF till the weather gets warmer!

Does anyone know where I can buy a thermometer that records the lowest temp during the night and the highest temp during the day........or even one that just records temps at set points throughout the day?! Thanks

or Texas, B&Q or any garden shop.

Mine never seem to last long as I keep dropping them.

Our cold spell has been delayed until Thursday. Saturday will have a maximum of 4.2 and a minimum of -5.1 with freezing fog, and Sunday night is -6.8. At least the garden is prepared.

i recently got a cheap electronic outdoor/indoor one from lidl!

it has a clock
it has a temp sensor n its body - that does present temp and max and min - and one on a probe that you can put outside - it does max and min for both

the probey bit can be used outside but is also quite useful for putting in a fermentation cupboard to see what is going on tempertaure wise in there!

hang on in there and keep eyes open - lidl specials usually reappear after a few months!
